The National Disaster Response Plan (NDRP) establishes a process and structure for the systematic, coordinated, and effective delivery of Federal assistance, to address the consequences of any major disaster or emergency declared by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The NDRP sets forth fundamental policies, planning assumptions, a concept of operations, response and recovery actions, and Federal agency and private sector responsibilities; organizes the forms of Federal response assistance that a State is most likely to require under 13 Support Service Areas (SSAs); each of which has a designated primary agency, provides a focus for interagency and intergovernmental emergency preparedness, planning, training, exercising, coordination, and information exchange.
