Emergency Support Function 11

Divider

ESF11-Agriculture and Natural Resources

APHIS' experience in responding to plant and animal health emergencies made the agency a natural choice to assist FEMA as it responds to a wide variety of emergency incidents. The U.S.Government's National Response Framework (NRF) guides how government agencies work together and provide a unified national response to emergencies and disasters. Under this guide, different functions are defined and roles are assigned. APHIS provides support under Emergency Support Function 11.

Under ESF11, USDA and the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) address the protection of agricultural and natural resources in a national emergency. Specifically, ESF11 responsibilities include:

  • Monitoring for and responding to animal/plant pest and disease situations;
  • Providing for the safety and well-being of household pets;
  • Offering nutrition assistance;
  • Ensuring the safety and security of the Nation's commercially produced meat, poultry, and egg products; and,
  • Protecting natural and cultural resources and historic properties.
