Interagency Coordination

The Department of the Interior provides representatives to multiple different external organizations, committees, and systems that coordinate emergency management program related activities. 

The Department as a whole, and through its constituent bureaus and offices, is committed to meet our responsibilities specified in the National Preparedness System, including the five National Planning Frameworks (Protection, Prevention, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery) and the associated Federal Interagency Operational Plan (FIOP).

Bureaus/offices participate in interagency and departmental training and exercise activities to ensure readiness to execute responsibilities as defined in the National Preparedness System and other interagency emergency management plans.

Bureaus and offices coordinate and operate incident response operations in compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS) Section III Command and Coordination.
