HURRICANE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE

 

National Response Framework

Under the National Response Framework, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is assigned as the primary agency for Emergency Support Function #3 – Public Works and Engineering. USACE assists the Department of Homeland Security/FEMA by coordinating federal public works and engineering-related support, as well as providing technical assistance, engineering expertise, and construction management to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and/or recover from domestic incidents.

Every year, USACE sends hundreds of people to respond to disasters around the world. In 2009, hundreds have responded to one or more of 17 major disaster declarations as a result of floods and severe winter storms from Hawaii to Maine, North Dakota to Mississippi, and many states in between. In 2008, nearly 900 Corps employees were engaged in hurricane emergency support missions. More
