ICS-800: Advanced Incident Command System & National
Response Framework Study Guide
Scope - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The National Response Framework
describes structures for implementing nationwide response policy and
operational coordination for all types of domestic incidents.
ESF - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔Coordination of Federal incident response
is accomplished through Emergency Support Functions (ESFs). ESFs are
organized groups of government and private-sector entities that
provide personnel, supplies, facilities, and equipment.
National Preparedness System (NPS) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The NPS
was developed to provide the approach, resources, and tools to aid the
whole community in its preparedness activities to achieve the National
Preparedness Goal. Part of this system involves determining what
capabilities are needed, how they should be developed and sustained,
and how they should be delivered.
National Preparedness Goal - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔A secure and
resilient Nation with the capabilities required across the whole
community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and
recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk.
,Prevention: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The term "prevention" refers to
those capabilities necessary to avoid, prevent, or stop a threatened or
actual act of terrorism. Prevention capabilities include but are not
limited to: information sharing and warning; domestic
counterterrorism; and preventing the acquisition or use of weapons of
mass destruction (WMD).
Protection: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The term "protection" refers to
those capabilities necessary to secure the homeland against terrorism
and manmade or natural disasters. Protection capabilities include but

(WMD) threats; defense of agriculture and food; critical infrastructure
protection; protection of key leadership and events; border security;
maritime security; transportation security; immigration security; and
cybersecurity.
Mitigation: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The term "mitigation" refers to
those capabilities necessary to reduce loss of life and property by
lessening the impact of disasters. Mitigation capabilities include but are
not limited to: community-wide risk reduction projects; efforts to
improve the resilience of critical infrastructure and key resource
lifelines; risk reduction for specific vulnerabilities from natural hazards
or acts of terrorism; and initiatives to reduce future risks after a
disaster has occurred.
Response: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The term "response" refers to those
capabilities necessary to save lives, protect property and the
, environment, and meet basic human needs after an incident has
occurred.
Recovery: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔The term "recovery" refers to those
capabilities necessary to assist communities affected by an incident to
recover effectively, including but not limited to: rebuilding

housing for survivors; restoring health, social, and community services;
promoting economic development; and restoring natural and cultural
resources.
Core Advisory Group (CAG) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔CAGs consist of
people with cross-disabilities who advise emergency managers. They
provide input on inclusive emergency operations plans, including:
Local, jurisdictional, or state accessible evacuation plans
Temporary accessible housing plans
Accessibility to, of, and in shelters
Which of the following is a benefit of implementing NRF structures and
procedures? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Scaled response
- Level of appropriate coordination
- Delivering specific resources
