NFPA also advocates a team-based approach to response, restoration and recovery preparation with strong senior management support and involvement. This is a voluntary guideline. |
Applies to public, not-for-profit, non-governmental organizations (NGO), and private entities on a local, regional, national, international, and global basis. |

This is a voluntary (but highly encouraged) guideline. |
