The USCG's incident response roles and responsibilities continue to evolve, especially following events such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Haiti earthquakes, Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and Superstorm Sandy. The concept of preparedness has also broadened in scope through the establishment of the Presidential Policy Directive-8 (PPD-8) and the five National Frameworks.

This Manual builds on the doctrine published in Reference(k) to further define Coast Guard Policy with respect to incident management activities
