The federal government maintains a wide range of capabilities and resources needed to address domestic incidents. In some instances, the federal government plays a supporting role to RCEMHS. For example, the federal government assists when the president declares an emergency or major disaster under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act). The federal government may play a leading role in the response when incidents occur on federal property (e.g., national parks) or when the federal government has primary jurisdiction (e.g., an ongoing terrorist threat or attack or a major oil spill). Various federal departments and agencies have their own authorities and responsibilities for responding to or assisting with incidents.

The following federal agencies regularly provide routine support to RCEMHS before, during, and after disaster emergencies. These federal agencies include, but are not limited to: •FEMA
