| summary = FEMA Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) may be selectively activated for both Stafford Act and non-Stafford Act incidents. Not all incidents requiring Federal support result in the activation of ESFs. For Stafford Act incidents, the National Response Coordination Center (NRCC) or Regional Response Coordination Center (RRCC) may activate specific ESFs or other Federal agencies (OFAs) by directing appropriate departments and agencies to initiate the actions delineated in the ESF Annexes.

Resources
coordinated though ESFs are assigned where needed within the response structure. For example, if a state
requests assistance with a mass evacuation, resources from several different ESFs may be integrated into
a single Branch or Group within the Operations Section. During the response, these resources would
report to a supervisor within the assigned Branch or Group.

Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) are established as annexes to the National Disaster Recovery
Framework (NDRF) and support the community, lead agencies, and private sector enterprises in planning
and coordinating the recovery of a community from the effects of a catastrophic disaster or emergency.

The following table illustrates the rough correspondence between ESF/RSF structures.
