FEMA IS-800
32 core capabilities -✅✅ -Under all five mission areas (Prevention,
Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery
✅✅
A Core Advisory Group (CAG) consists of people with cross-disabilities who
advise emergency managers about accessibility. - -Responders had to
learn what sign languages were used; how many sign language interpreters
were in the territory; whether congregate living existed; which local support,
service, and advocacy entities existed; whether auxiliary aids existed in the
territory; and what devices and equipment were present.
As events were unfolding during disaster response, there were rumors that
needed to be verified regarding people with disabilities who lacked services
and were unsafe. Rumors were verified and people were transitioned to
appropriate temporary shelters. CAG members now serve in the EOC to help
facilitate information and develop courses of action to meet the needs of
citizens with disabilities and those of older individuals.

Community Lifelines - ✅✅ -A community lifeline enables the continuous
operation of critical government and business functions and is essential to
human health and safety or economic security.
,The seven community lifelines represent only the most basic services a
community relies on and which, when stable, enable all other activity within a
community.
Stabilizing community lifelines is the primary effort during response to lessen
threats and hazards to public health and safety, the economy, and security.
Community Lifelines - ✅✅
-SAFETY AND SECURITY
FOOD WATER SHELTER
HEALTH AND MEDICAL
ENERGY POWER AND FUEL
COMMUNICATIONS
TRANSPORTATION
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Community lifelines rely on multiple government entities, business, and
infrastructure sectors to function.
Because the community lifelines are interdependent, failures in one will often
cascade across to others.
The seven community lifelines are listed below. For more information on

Community Lifelines Means, Ways, Ends - ✅✅-The interrelationship of
Emergency Support Functions (ESF), Core Capabilities, and lifelines can be
thought of in terms of means, ways, and ends.
Conclusion
Course Completion
You have now completed all of the lessons. Prior to taking the examination,
we recommend that you:
Access and print a summary of the course contents.
Review the National Response Framework base document
✅✅
(https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/national-preparedness/framewor
ks/response). - -The National Response Framework (NRF) provides
foundational emergency management doctrine for how the Nation responds to
all types of incidents. The NRF is built on scalable, flexible, and adaptable
concepts.
The whole community should be engaged in examining and implementing the
strategy and doctrine contained in the NRF, considering both current and
,future requirements in the process. Remember, Whole Community includes:
The private sector; NGOs; local, state, tribal, territorial, and insular area
governments; and the Federal Government, as well as other response
entities.
The whole community remains firm in its commitment to safeguard itself
against its greatest risks, now and in the future. Through whole community
engagement, the Nation will continue to improve its preparedness to face all
emergencies or disaster challenges that may unfold.

Coordinating Structures in Support of Emergency Response Example -
-Regional Disability Integration Specialists (RDISs) provide technical
training and assistance in non-Stafford Act events like papal visits, Super Bowl
games, etc. Disability Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) advise about physical
access in paths of travel, accessible egress for rapid evacuation, appropriate
signage to alert people with disabilities to announcements, captioning, and
American Sign Language interpreters to help make sure all citizens have
equal access and equal participation.
Operations support and coordination help make sure that people controlling
the event or incident have all the tools they need. RDISs will know about
resources in their regions, in other regions, and throughout the nation, through
tribal, local, regional, and statewide Core Advisory Group (CAG) networks and
national disability partner organizations.
FEMA has the latitude to access any resources within the Federal
Government under certain conditions and specific circumstances. Urban
Search and Rescue (USAR) activities would be one example. Even in cases
in which FEMA may not have authority to access resources directly, they may
have awareness and be able to refer people in an operational coordination
role to an entity that does have needed resources. An example could be air
support for a state or Federal police operation.
Core Advisory Group (CAG) - ✅✅ -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

Core Capabilities -✅✅ -Response core capabilities are the functions or
activities that generally must be accomplished in incident response regardless
of which levels of government are involved.
Using and implementing core capabilities is what we as a nation require in
order to deal with the risks we face.
As we look at the Response core capabilities, you'll notice that three core
capabilities span all five mission areas: Planning, Public Information and
Warning, and Operational Coordination. These help to unify the mission areas
