Army Gen. Charles H. Jacoby, Jr., NORAD and USNORTHCOM commander, and his staff, receive an update on weather conditions in the areas affected by Hurricane Sandy during a commander’s assessment meeting Oct. 30. U.S. Northern Command is poised to provide Department of Defense support to FEMA, tribal, state and local response efforts due to the hurricane. Part of the USNORTHCOM Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) mission directs the command to plan and anticipate actions that it may need to take to support civil authorities. USNORTHCOM plays an important role in disaster response; however, all efforts are in support of a lead federal agency working closely with state and local officials.
