The NATIONAL RESILIENCY CENTER (NRC) provides needed protocols, organized into a template for use by Incident Commanders and appropriate local, state and federal officials immediately during and after a crisis event. The NRC protocols address issues rarely found in community, state and federal disaster plans. Following the NRC advice can help reduce crisis chaos, increase first responder efficiency and effectiveness and aid/assist the emotional recovery of victims, victim's families, first responders and the community.
