effectively and efficiently together to prepare for and respond to domestic incidents
Core set of concepts, principles and terminology for incident command and multi-agency coordination
3
Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 5 (Continued)
Requires all Federal Departments and Agencies to adopt the NIMS
Requires state and local NIMS compliance as a condition for Federal preparedness assistance
4
NIMS: Key Concepts
NIMS is based on the premise that the utilization of a common incident management framework will give emergency management/response personnel a flexible yet standardized system for emergency management and incident response activities.
NIMS is flexible because the system components can be utilized to develop plans, processes, procedures, agreements, and roles for all types of incidents and is applicable to any incident regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity.
Additionally, NIMS provides an organized set of standardized operational structures which is critical in allowing disparate organizations and agencies to work together in a predictable, coordinated manner.
5
NIMS: Key Concepts Framework for interoperability and compatibility
Flexibility Consistent, flexible, and adjustable national framework
Applicable regardless of incident cause, size, location, or complexity.
Standardization Standard organizational structures
Key to interoperability
Ongoing support: Incident Management Systems Integration Division of FEMA PREP
6
Overview of NIMS
What NIMS is:
A comprehensive, nationwide, systematic approach to incident management, including the Incident Command System, Multiagency Coordination Systems, and Public Information
A set of preparedness concepts and principles for all hazards
Essential principles for a common operating picture and interoperability of communications and information management
Standardized resource management procedures that enable coordination among different jurisdictions or organizations
Scalable so it may be used for all incidents (from day-to-day to large-scale)
A dynamic system that promotes ongoing management and maintenance
What NIMS is NOT:
A response plan
Only used during large incidents
A communication plan
Only applicable to certain emergency responders
Only the Incident Command System or an organizational chart
A static system

NIMS Components
PreparednessPreparedness
Involves an integrated combination of planning, training, exercises, personnel
qualification and certification standards, equipment acquisition and certification standards, and publications management processes well in advance of any potential incident.
Communications Communications and Information and Information
ManagementManagement
This component under NIMS identifies the requirement for a standardized framework for communications, information management (collection, analysis, and dissemination), and information-sharing at all levels of incident management.
Resource Resource ManagementManagement
This component under NIMS defines standardized mechanisms and establishes requirements for processes to describe, inventory, mobilize, dispatch, track, and recover resources over the cycle of the incident.
9
Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreements
Mutual aid and assistance agreements are written or oral agreements between and among agencies/organizations and/or jurisdictions that provide a mechanism to quickly obtain emergency assistance in the form of personnel, equipment, materials, and other associated services.
The primary objective is to facilitate rapid, short−term deployment of emergency support prior to, during, and/or after an incident.
Mutual Aid – A Key Preparedness Element
10
Common Operating Picture A common operating picture is established and maintained by the
gathering, collating, synthesizing, and disseminating of incident information to all appropriate parties involved in an incident.
Achieving a common operating picture allows on-scene and off-scene personnel (e.g., those at the Incident Command Post, an Emergency Operations Center, and within a multiagency coordination group) to have the same information about the incident, including the availability and location of resources, personnel, and the status of requests for assistance.

Resource Typing
120 typed national resources are organized by:
Category – function for which the resource is most useful (firefighting, law enforcement, etc.)
Kind – broad class of characterization, such as teams, personnel, equipment, and supplies
Type – measure of minimum capabilities to perform its function, Type I implies a higher capability than Type II
15
Credentialing and Typing Program
Components of Credentialing and Typing: an objective, standardized evaluation of an individuals ….
Qualifications (or attributes)
Ability to meet nationally accepted baseline or minimum standards to provide a particular service
Reason to be at the incident scene (requested)
Standard will help to ensure that personnel withthe right attributes are deployed to the right
place at the right time

Incident Command System
ICS defines the operating characteristics, interactive management components, and structure of incident management and emergency response organizations engaged throughout the life cycle of an incident.
Multiagency Coordination SystemThe MACS ties together all the support and coordination structures utilized in an incident. The primary function of the MACS is to support and coordinate incident management policies and priorities.
Public Information
Public Information includes processes and procedures for communicatingtimely and accurate information to the public during crisis.
All levels of government, along with volunteer organizations and private industry, must have the ability to gather public information, verify public information, coordinate public information, and disseminate public information during a disaster.

24
Command vs. Coordination
Coordination and Support of Incident Command/Area Command rests with the Emergency Operations Center and other elements of the multi-agency coordination system.
25
ICS and EOC Issues
Determine “make-up” of Multi-Agency Coordination System for the Incident
Establish Clear Line of Communications with Dispatch, EOC, and other elements of the system
Establish Direct Line to Chief Elected and Appointed Officials
Establish Procedures for the Gathering, Verification, Coordination, and Dissemination of Public Information
Establish Procedures for Resource Management
26
Public Information
The Public Information Officer gathers, verifies, coordinates, and disseminates accurate, accessible, and timely information on the incident’s cause, size, and current situation; resources committed; and other matters of general interest for both internal and external use.

NIMS Components
Ongoing Ongoing Management and Management and
MaintenanceMaintenance
This component of NIMS establishes an activity to provide strategic direction for an oversight of the NIMS, supporting both routine and continuous refinement of the system and its components over the long term along with
Supporting Technology.
The NIC recommends that State and local governments voluntarily adopt the following National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards: NFPA 1600: “Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs,” 2007 Edition; and NFPA 1561: “Standard on Emergency Services Incident Management System,” 2005 Edition. These standards, if adopted by the jurisdiction, can assist in the implementation of NIMS. For more information about these standards, please visit the NIMS guidance section of the NIC Web site. Other standards may be issued periodically by the NIC and recommended for voluntary adoption.

Summary Incidents typically begin and end locally and are managed on a daily basis at
the lowest possible geographical, organizational, and jurisdictional level.
However, there are instances in which successful incident management operations depend on the involvement of multiple jurisdictions, levels of government, functional agencies, and/or emergency responder disciplines.
These instances require effective and efficient coordination across this broad spectrum of organizations and activities.
NIMS uses a systematic approach to integrate the best existing processes and methods into a unified national framework for incident management.
This framework forms the basis for interoperability and compatibility that will, in turn, enable a diverse set of public and private organizations to conduct well integrated and effective emergency management and incident response operations.
It does this through a core set of concepts, principles, procedures, organizational processes, terminology, and standards requirements applicable to a broad community of NIMS users
