On January 6, 2005, the National Response Plan (NRP) was introduced to standardize a national approach for responding to natural or man-made threats. The underlying structure for the NRP is the National Incident Management System, which establishes standardized training, organization, and communications procedures that can be used by multiple jurisdictions to interact in a disaster. The NRP clearly identifies authority and leadership responsibilities. The NRP organizes the government's emergency operations into 15 emergency support functions, of which Emergency Support Function #8 pertains to public health and medical services. The United States Public Health Service (PHS) Commissioned Corps is one of the seven uniformed services of the United States, and PHS officers can be deployed to help meet urgent public health needs when traditional mechanisms and resources are overwhelmed. The role of PHS nurses is presented.
2005年1月6日，《国家应对计划》（NRP）出台，旨在规范全国应对自然或人为威胁的方法。NRP的基础架构是国家 incident 管理系统，该系统建立了标准化的培训、组织和通信程序，多个司法管辖区可在灾难中使用这些程序进行互动。NRP明确规定了权力和领导职责。NRP将政府的应急行动组织为15项应急支持职能，其中应急支持职能#8涉及公共卫生和医疗服务。美国公共卫生服务（PHS）委任团是美国七支制服部队之一，当传统机制和资源不堪重负时，PHS官员可被部署以帮助满足紧急公共卫生需求。文中介绍了PHS护士的作用。
