Lets summarize what you have learned in this lesson:
- Unity of purpose, unity of effort, and unified command/coordination allow various agencies and stakeholders to work together and share information during an incident.
- The Unified Coordination Group brings the principles of unified command/coordination to the FEMA incident level.
- The Federal response progresses from the formation of the UCG, establishment of the JFO and General Staff, and then assignment of ESF resources to Command and General Staff.
- There are 14 active ESFs numbered 1-13 and 15. ESF 14 is superseded by the Cross-Sector Business and Infrastructure
Now that you have learned about FEMA incident management, you will learn more about FEMA-s disaster declaration process in the next lesson.
