- Summary:
- HHS has participated in preparedness activities to fulfill its Coordinator, Primary, and Support agency Emergency Support Function-8 responsibilities. However, other ESF Coordinator and Primary agencies did not always report having a clear understanding of HHS's Support agency role and available resources during incident response. Further, HHS deployed resources for 28 incidents in 2010 and 2011 and demonstrated its ability to effectively fulfill its ESF-8 responsibilities for 3 incidents [that were] reviewed in 2010 and 2011. However, States reported receiving multiple requests from HHS for the same information, which were burdensome during incident response.
