The Emergency Support Function for Agriculture and Natural Resources is ESF number?

• A. ESF #8
• B. ESF #11
• C. ESF #4
• D. ESF #15

Answer: (B)

In disaster response, Emergency Support Functions group agencies by the kind of assistance they provide. The function that coordinates agriculture and natural resources—covering crops and livestock, food safety, forestry, pest management, and related resource issues—works with USDA and state partners to protect the food supply and natural resources. That function is designated as eleven, which is why this item points to ESF eleven. Other ESFs handle different areas: for example, health and medical support, firefighting, and external public affairs, none of which focus on agriculture and natural resources.
