For this assignment, select a natural disaster that has affected you in some way such as a hurricane, tornado, blizzard, or wildfire, and look at the National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) and the National Response Framework (NRF), both of which are addressed in Chapter 9. Address how the NRF and NIMS were used to bring the disaster under control. Explain your role or how you or someone you know was affected by the disaster (i.e., psychologically and/or physically).

In your paper, •Explain why changes were necessary in the existing response structure which lead to the NRF in use today. •Explain, based on the disaster you identified, how the response dictated the NRF and NIMS response would be used if the disaster occurred today. •Justify whether or not you think states should take a more active role in emergency management at the local level and if implementation of the NRF usurps state responsibility and jurisdiction when responding to a disaster.
