The National Disaster Response Coordination Plan (NDRCP) outlines the coordination mechanism and functions to be undertaken to ensure a coherent response to threats and events from hazards impacting Jamaica. It does not replace the National Disaster Plan or plans and standard operating procedures required for managing responses to particular threats.
The NDRCP identifies coordinating activities to be taken in the preparedness and response phases by the public, private and voluntary sectors as well as community-based response teams. Coordinating activities, called Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) are led by ministries, departments and agencies of the government, with assistance from their private and voluntary sector partners and community teams.
