Regional Emergency Support Function (RESF) is a very basic function shared by all jurisdictions. Individual RESF’s identify organizations with resources and capabilities that align with a particular type of assistance or requirement frequently needed in a large-scale emergency or disaster. RESF’s are discipline oriented work groups providing a convenient alignment or typing of similar organizations, subject matter expertise, and activities from participating jurisdictions.
The RESF structure of the RESP parallels the emergency support function (ESF) structure of the National Response Framework (NRF), and complies with the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
