The Martiel Group adheres to the guidelines of the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF), enabling effective recovery support to disaster-impacted states, tribes, territorial and local jurisdictions. The Martiel Group’s main focus is how best to restore, redevelop and revitalize the health, social, economic, natural and environmental fabric of these communities.
In fact, recovery often begins while emergency response activities are still in progress. The NDRF established six Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) to provide technical assistance and support the recovery in accordance with priorities of impacted communities. The RSFs include: Community Planning and Capacity Building, Housing, Economics, Infrastructure Systems, Health, and Natural and Cultural Resources (i.e., the NCR RSF). Each RSF is led by a Federal Coordinating Agency and has a core group of Primary Agencies along with a cadre of Supporting Organizations. The purpose of the RSFs is to integrate interagency resources for recovery support by facilitating problem solving, improving access to resources, and fostering coordination among Local, State, Tribal, Territorial, and Insular Area partners, nongovernmental partners, the private sector, and stakeholders.
The National Response Framework (NRF) is a guide to how the nation responds to all types of disasters and emergencies. It is built on scalable, flexible, and adaptable concepts identified in the National Incident Management System to align key roles and responsibilities.
The NRF is structured to help jurisdictions, citizens, nongovernmental organizations and businesses:
- Develop whole community plans
- Integrate continuity plans
- Build capabilities to respond to cascading failures among businesses, supply chains, and infrastructure sectors
- Collaborate to stabilize community lifelines and restore services.
