National Incident Management System
The Department of Homeland Security developed a
comprehensive nationwide framework for incident management that enables
responders at all levels to work together more effectively to manage
incidents no mater what the cause, size or complexity. The National Incident
Management System (NIMS) incorporates best practices currently in use by
incident managers at all levels. It was developed through extensive outreach
to state, local and tribal officials, the emergency response community and
the private sector.
NIMS is managed and maintained by the
NIMS Integration
Center (NIC), which provides strategic direction for the oversight of
the system. The NIC has facilitated the development of a national system of
guidelines, protocols and standards for NIMS implementation; training
requirements, national-level training standards and assessment criteria for
the various components of NIMS; and compliance requirements and timelines
for implementation.
Johnson County Emergency Management is providing this page to link the cities of Johnson County with the most current and relevant information to guide their integration of NIMS compliance requirements.
NIMS-IRIS
(Incident Resource Inventory System released. FEMA Incident
Management Systems Division has released the build one - beta version of the
NIMS Incident Resource Inventory System (NIMS-IRIS) tool to the emergency
response community. This version provides emergency responders with a
database management tool to enter a community's 120 typed resources into a
common database.
