Supplements but does not duplicate the Federal
Interagency Operational Plans and other subordinate
plans.
Although the Annex provides guidance for the Whole
Community, it focuses deliberately on the requirements of
those who are involved in delivering core capabilities at
the federal level.
The Annex does not alter or impede the ability of any local,
state, tribal, territorial, insular area, or federal agency
to execute authorities or meet responsibilities under
applicable laws, executive orders, and directives.
The term "response" within this annex refers to those
activities and capabilities within the
Response and Recovery Mission Areas, commonly
identified as “consequence management” that are exclusive of
any law enforcement and criminal investigation activities
and capabilities otherwise described within the
Prevention Mission Area.
The term "consequence management" is used to describe
those Response and Recovery Mission Area activities that
include
Securing the incident site
Assessing the dispersal of radioactive material
Enhancing first responder capabilities
Ensuring availability of decontamination and site
remediation resources
Providing radiological medical triage capabilities
Increasing population resilience and recovery
capabilities
