The National Response Plan, or NRP, specifies how resources of the Federal Government will work in concert with state local and tribal governments as well as the private sector to respond to Incidents of National Significance. The NRP is predicated on the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Together NRP and NIMS provide a nationwide template for working together to prevent or respond to threats and incidents regardless of cause size or complexity. The IS-800 course is designed primarily for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other Federal department/agency personnel responsible for implementing the National Response Plan

This includes senior elected and appointed leaders, such as Federal department or agency heads, State Governors, mayors, tribal leaders, and city or county officials – those who have a responsibility to provide for effective response.
