ESF#11 Agriculture and Natural Resources: Providing Safe Food, Protecting Agricultural Health, Helping Pets, and Preserving American Resources
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Response Framework (NRF) identifies 15 Emergency Support Function (ESF) Annexes, each annex describing a subset of emergency response activities. The ESF #11 annex encompasses activities related to Agriculture and Natural Resources. The ESF #11 Annex involves four Federal agencies, including USDA APHIS, USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), and the Department of the Interior (DOI). USDA and DOI are designated as the primary federal departments in the ESF #11 Annex and USDA is designated as the lead department. USDA, HSO delegated the lead responsibility to APHIS. This delegation gives APHIS the responsibility to coordinate and serve as the liaison between DHS/FEMA, USDA, DOI, and cooperating state and local entities for preparedness and response to an activation of ESF #11.
