What is the role of the National Communications System within the National Response Plan?
The National Communications System (NCS) is designated as the Primary Agency for implementation of Emergency Support Function (ESF) #2 (Communications) Annex of the National Response Plan. ESF #2 supports the restoration of the public communications infrastructure and ensures the provision of Federal communications support to response efforts during Incidents of National Significance. In this role, the NCS ensures that our Nation’s communications infrastructure can respond throughout any crisis or emergency condition. The ESF #2 missions are executed by the Emergency Communications Teams (National and Field) (ECT-N and ECT-F) in response to any communications infrastructure crisis or emergency condition. The readiness level of the team is sustained by the semi-annual ESF #2 Training Conferences.
