The NRF was utilized to establish a unified and coordinated response effort. It facilitated the integration of resources from local, state, and federal agencies, as well as private sector and non-governmental organizations. This ensured that all parties were working towards a common goal and that resources were effectively utilized. The NIMS, on the other hand, provided a flexible framework for incident management. It established an Incident Command System (ICS) that defined roles and responsibilities, ensuring a clear chain of command and control. This helped to avoid confusion and duplication of efforts. The NIMS also facilitated resource management, ensuring that resources were allocated where they were most needed, and communication and information management, ensuring that all parties had the information they needed to respond effectively. Together, the NRF and NIMS provided a comprehensive approach to disaster management, ensuring that the response to the tornado was coordinated, effective, and efficient. They allowed for the integration of different resources and capabilities, the establishment of a clear command structure, and the effective management of resources and information. This helped to bring the disaster under control and to mitigate its impacts
