Role and Responsibilities Description:

 

The Emergency Support Function (ESF) #14 role supports the coordination of cross-sector operations, including stabilization of key supply chains and community lifelines, among infrastructure owners and operators, businesses and their government partners. ESF #14 is complementary to the Sector-Specific Agencies (SSA) and other ESFs and is a mechanism for entities that are not aligned to an ESF or have other means of coordination. Critical infrastructure sectors currently aligned to another ESF will continue to use that ESF as their primary interface.

• Aggregate information, assess cross-sector challenges, identify cross-sector interdependencies, and disseminate analysis products. These assessments inform decisions about sequencing response efforts to stabilize community lifelines, mitigating cascading impacts, and meeting survivor needs, in collaboration with other ESFs and SSAs.
• Serve as the interface with businesses, industries, and critical infrastructure sectors not aligned to other ESFs.
• Collect data, in coordination with ESFs and SSAs, to provide essential elements of information and critical information requirements identified by ESF #5 – Information and Planning, regarding infrastructure status, impacts, factors limiting commercial exchange, and other economic drivers for the incident and nationally.
