Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) are the primary organizational element of the NDRF's sector-based approach. A coordinated approach helps communities take intentional and organized action to achieve their recovery priorities. RSFs are a powerful tool for organizing and coordinating recovery stakeholders at all levels of government.

(Blue Curve) The RSF model decreases disaster impact and enhances recovery by coordinating pre-planning and recovery support.
