The Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) is a key process used during disaster response. It provides assets and personnel to local municipalities such as the national guard from either the active or reserve components. The National Guard responds to emergency situations that include but are not limited to natural disasters, special events or for law enforcement. Is this approach complex? Yes, it can become very complex due to the coordination of both local and federal government attempting to work together to accomplish a mission. At times the bureaucratic tape creates challenges preventing key resources being provided during crisis.

The implementation of the to the DSCA can also create a level of enforcement that intimates and at times can take control over an emergency response. Even though Integrated planning can be complex it is a key resource that can be needed to ensure the safety of the American citizens. Examples of the DSCA stepping in to help support local government were in Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Maria.
