Mississippi Support Function #8- Public Health and Medical Services AnnexRelationship to the Whole CommunityThis section describes how Emergency Support Function (ESF) 8 (Public Health and Medical Services)relates to other elements of the public.Local, State, Tribal, Territorial, and Insular Area Governments While local, tribal, territorial, and insular area officials retain primary responsibility for meetingpublic health and medical needs, ESF 8 can deploy public health and medical assets to assist asneeded. In a major public health or medical emergency, demand for public health and medical resources mayexceed local, state, tribal, territorial, and insular area capability. State, territorial, tribal, or insular areajurisdictions may request assistance through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact or mayrequest Federal assistance, which may be executed with or without a Stafford Act declaration. Whenpossible, a recognized spokesperson from the affected public health and medical community (local,state, tribal, territorial, or insular area) delivers relevant health messages.Private Sector/Nongovernmental Organizations The vast majority of public health and medical activities and services are provided by the privatehealthcare sector. ESF 8 augments the support provided by the private healthcare sector whenrequested by local, tribal, territorial, or insular area governments. ESF 8 organizations works closely with the private sector (e.g., regulated industries, academicinstitutions, trade organizations, and advocacy groups), volunteer organizations (e.g., faith-based andneighborhood partnerships), and local and state agencies to coordinate ESF 8 response resources. ESF8 organizations recognize that leveraging resources from these organizations and individuals withshared interests allows ESF 8 to accomplish its mission in ways that are the least burdensome andmost beneficial to the American public and that enhance the resilience of healthcare systems todeliver coordinated and effective care during public health emergencies and mass casualty events. Nongovernmental organizations, including community-based organizations, are an important partnerin recruiting and supporting health professional volunteers and providing medical and counselingservices to victims and their families.Core Capabilities and ActionsESF Roles Aligned to Core CapabilitiesThe following table lists the Response core capabilities that ESF 8 most directly supports along with therelated ESF 8 actions.
