Screen 1 Cover National Incident Management System Screen 2 Homeland Security Presidential Directive--5 Directed the developmoent of a National Incident Management System and a new National Response Plan Notes HSPD-5 directed the development of the NIMS and the NRP. >The National Incident Management System was developed to provide a consistent nationwide approach for all levels of government to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for and respond to domestic incidents. >The new National Response Plan provides the structure and mechanisms for a comprehensive nationwide approach to domestic incident management. The plan is applicable to all federal departments and agencies that may be involved in responding to an actual or potential Incident of National Significance. >Incidents of National Significance are high-impact events that require a coordinated response by all levels of government. Screen 3 National Incident Management System The National Incident Management System provides a consistent nationwide approach for federal, state, tribal, and local governments to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for and respond to all hazards, including acts of terrorism. Notes >It will have a profound impact on the way we prepare for and respond to domestic incidents and disasters. >It is a nationwide, standardized approach to incident management and response. >NIMS establishes a standard, consistent framework for federal, state, tribal and local governments to work together to respond to incidents, emergencies – no matter the cause or complexity. >NIMS is not only about response – it is also about preparedness, prevention, recovery and mitigation. >Built on the foundation of existing systems, NIMS integrates best practices developed over the years. >NIMS was developed through collaborative process involving functional disciplines in emergency and incident management. >NIMS represents a core set of doctrines, concepts, principles, terminologies and processes. >It is not an operational plan or resource management plan. Not a plan specifically for terrorism or WMD. >HSPD-5 requires that federal departments & agencies adopt the NIMS and use to support state, local, tribal entities. >HSPD-5 also stipulates that federal departments & agencies require state and local entities to adopt the NIMS as a condition for federal preparedness assistance after a phase-in period. Screen 4 National Response Plan The National Response Plan is built on the template of the National Incident Management System. It provides the structure and mechanisms for coordinating federal support to state, local and tribal incident managers … ...for exercising direct federal authorities and responsibilities, and Incidents of National Significance. Notes Together the NRP and the NIMS integrate the capabilities and resources of: >Government, emergency response disciplines, nongovernmental organizations and the private sector into a cohesive, coordinated and seamless national framework for incident management. >The NRP provides the framework for federal interaction with state, local and tribal governments, the private sector and nongovernmental organizations in the context of prevention, preparedness, response and recovery activities. >The NRP is used for “Incidents of National Significance” – large events that require a coordinated response by federal, state, local and tribal governments, the private sector and nongovernmental organizations. >The NRP applies to federal departments and agencies that may be requested to participate in actual or potential incidents of national significance. >The NRP was formally announced on Juan. 6, 2005. >More information about the NRP is available at www.dhs.gov/nrp Screen 5 Components of the NRP >Concept of Operations >Coordinating Structures >Roles and Responsibilities >ESF Annexes >Incident Annexes Screen 6 Components of NIMS >Command and Management >Preparedness >Resource Management >Communications and Information Management >Supporting Technologies >Ongoing Management and Maintenance Screen 7 NIMS CONCEPTS: COMMAND AND MANAGEMENT >Incident Command System >Multi-Agency Coordination System >Public Information System NOTES ICS and NIMS … >NIMS establishes ICS as the standardized incident organizational structure for responding to all incidents. >NIMS requires that states and locals institutionalize "ICS as taught by DHS" across entire response system. >This means that ICS training must be consistent with concepts, principles, characteristics of DHS ICS training. >Does not mean that ICS training must be provided by a DHS employee or DHS training facility. NIMS ICS training developed by FEMA/EMI is available: >>ICS-100, Introduction >>ICS-200, Basic >>ICS-300, Intermediate >>ICS-400, Advanced >>NIMS ICS is based on FIRESCOPE and NIIMS – training developed or provided by FIRESCOPE or NIIMS is consistent with DHS NIMS ICS. >As critical components of NIMS ICS are modified by the NIC over time, training providers will need to update accordingly. >ICS training should encourage and support integrated training opportunities where law enforcement, fire, public health emergency medical, public works, emergency management train together. Multi-Agency Coordination System >A multi-agency coordination system involves the integration of personnel, procedures, equipment and facilities into a common system that manages the incident. >Response activities are typically coordinated at an Emergency Operations Center, while the Incident Command Post is located at the site of the incident. Public Information Systems >Public Information Systems involve the systems and protocols for communicating information to the public during a crisis or emergency situation. Screen 8 NIMS COmponents: PREPAREDNESS >Planning >Training and Exercises >Standards and Certification >Mutual Aid >Information and Publications Notes >Preparedness involves a continuous cycle of planning, training, equipping, exercising, evaluating and taking action to correct and mitigate. >It involves guidelines, protocols, standards for planning, training, [personnel qualification and certification, equipment certification and publications… >Preparedness is linked to HSPD-8 >Preparedness involves processes for providing guidelines; protocols; standards for planning, training, qualifications and certification; and publication management >Mitigation activities are important elements of preparedness >"National-level preparedness standards related to the NIMS will be maintained and managed through a multijurisdictional, multidiscipline center, using a collaborative process." Screen 9 COMPONENTS OF NIMS: RESOURCE MANAGEMENT >Identify and type resources >Certify and credential personnel >Inventory, acquire, mobilize, track and recover Notes Concept and Principles >NIMS resource management involves typing resources; credentialing personnel; identifying resource requirements; and acquiring, tracking and recovering resources >Effective resource management utilizes mutual aid >Provides a uniform way to identify and track resources >Requires standardized classification of the kinds and types of resources needed in incident management >Credentialing system tied to training and standards >Coordinated by EOC or Multiagency Coordination System or through ICS structure Screen 10 COMPONENTS OF NIMS: >Communications and Information Management >Supporting Technologies >Ongoing NIMS Management Notes Communications and Information Management >NIMS requires a common operating picture that is accessible across jurisdictions and agencies. >A common operating picture will help ensure consistency at all levels and among those who respond to or manage incident response. >Common communications and data standards are fundamental. >Effective communications within and outside the response structure are enhanced by adherence to standards. Supporting Technologies NIMS supporting technology standards are based on: >Interoperability and compatibility >Technology support >Broad-based requirements >Strategic planning and R&D The NIMS Integration Center will provide ongoing NIMS management.
