AB This  chapter  will  discuss  the  issue  of  disaster  response  by  local,  state,  regional,  municipal,  and  tribal  authorities.  Additionally,  the  issue  of  federal  participation  and  the  factors  associated  with  an  integrated  and  interoperable  response  process  will  be  reviewed  and  federal  response  activities  outlined.  The  management  and  mitigation  of  disaster  response  activities  are  multifaceted  with  significant  negative  consequences  if  not  managed  correctly.  The  federal  assets  available  for  local  response  and  mitigation  are  significant  and  available  for  those  that  are  aware  of  the  full  depth  of  resources.1–7  The  federal  assets  are  not  only  limited  to  logistical  support  but  also  include  human  resources  that  are  significant  in  their  expertise  and  organizational  skills.  Knowledge  of  the  Federal  Response  Plan  and  associated  legal  statutes  allow  for  informed  emergency  management  planning  and  modifying  the  incident  impact.
