The National Response Plan (NRP) and The National Incident Management System (NIMS)

The Goal• A consistent nationwide approach for all levels

of government to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for and respond to domestic incidents.

The Coordination • DHS coordinated development with Federal,

Tribal, State, Territorial, and local agencies, non-governmental organizations, private-sector entities, healthcare providers, first responders and emergency managers.

The National Incident Management System (NIMS)

NIMS is a core set of concepts, principles and terminology for incident command and multi-agency coordination.

NIMS Management Components

Preparedness

Communications and Information Management

Resource Management & Credentialing

Supporting Technologies

Command and Control

NIMS Management 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. Credentialing of position descriptions and task books development.

Supporting Supporting TechnologiesTechnologies

Technology and technological systems provide supporting capabilities essential to implementing and continuously refining NIMS.

On-going On-going Management/ Management/ 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.

NIMS Management Components

Command Command and and

ManagementManagement

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 System

The 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 System

The PIS includes processes and procedures for communicating timely and accurate information to the public during crisis.

All levels of government, 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

NIMS Mutual Aid & Credentialing

Participating in and promoting intrastate and interagency mutual aid agreements.

• Expand mutual aid agreements beyond support services and equipment to include information sharing;

• Support and adopt the ongoing efforts of the NIC to develop a national credentialing system; and

• Credential emergency responders in conformance with national standards.

NIMS Resource Typing

The 121 Typed Resources are Organized by:

• Category - function of the resource (firefighting, law enforcement, health and medical, etc.);

• Kind - teams, personnel, equipment, and supplies - metrics have been developed for each kind that measure capability or capacity; and

• Type - measure of the minimum capabilities to perform its function - Type I implies a higher capability than Type II.

NIMS Resource Typing

Resource Typing Categories

• Animal Health Emergencies Response 

• Emergency Medical Services

• Fire and Hazardous Materials Response

• Incident Management

• Law Enforcement Resources

• Medical and Public Health 

• Public Works Resources

• Search & Rescue Resources

What is NIMSCAST?

The National Incident Management System Capability Assessment Support Tool (NIMSCAST) is a web-based self-assessment tool designed to aid local, State, and Tribal organizations and jurisdictions in determining their capabilities and compliance against the requirements established in the National Incident Management System (NIMS)
