National Incident Management System NIMS Standardized Emergency Management

National Incident Management System (NIMS) Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS)

Background HSPD-5 – Issued February 28, 2003 Directed Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and administer NIMS

Incentives • HSPD-5 – Requires adoption of NIMS to be eligible to apply for federal preparedness grants. • A partial listing of agencies administering federal preparedness grants is available at the FEMA website: www. fema. gov/nims

Why NIMS was developed… • Lessons Learned Point To Need For National Incident Management System • Emergencies Happen Daily • Responders Need To Be Able To Work/ Communicate Together • No Comprehensive Standards For National Response Until Now • Provides Standards For Domestic Incident Response

NIMS is…. . Core set of: ü Doctrine ü Concepts ü Principles ü Terminology ü Organizational processes ü Applicable to all hazards

What NIMS Is Not…. . • An operational incident management system • A resource allocation plan • A terrorism/WMD-specific plan

Major Components • • Command & Management Preparedness Resource Management Communications & Info. Management • Supporting Technologies

Command & Management • Incident Command System • Joint Information System Information Officer

Preparedness • Organizations • Programs • Planning • Procedures • Corrective Actions & Mitigation Plans • Recovery Plans

Preparedness • Training & Exercises • Personnel Qualifications & Certification • Equipment Certification • Mutual Aid Agreements

Resource Management • Categorizing Resources • Effective Management of Resources • Inventorying Resources • Identifying Resource Requirements • Ordering and Acquiring Resources

Resource Management • Mobilizing Resources • Nonexpendable and Expendable Resources • Reimbursement

Communications & Information Management • Incident Management Communications • Information Management • Interoperability Standards

Supporting Technologies Research and Development to Solve Operational Problems

Ongoing NIMS Management NIMS Integration Center ØFacilitates development & dissemination of national standards, guidelines, and protocols ØFacilitates use of modeling/simulation ØDefines general training requirements and approved courses ØReviews/approves disciplinespecific training requirements

Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) Ø Origins Ø What It Is Ø What it is Not

The System Incorporates…. • Incident Management System • Multi-agency coordination • Mutual Aid • Operational Area Concept

SEMS 5 Organizational Levels State OES Region Operational Area Local Government Field (ICS)

SEMS 5 Functions Management (Command at Field Level) Operations Planning/ Intelligence Logistics Finance/ Administration

Uses of The Systems (SEMS, ICS, NIMS) 911 NON-EMERGENCY

Similarities between NIMS and SEMS • Incident Management System • Multi-agency coordination • Mutual Aid • EOP Features • All Hazards EO P

Key Differences with SEMS • ICS - Separates Intelligence from Planning/Intelligence, some terms are NIMS slightly different • Corrective Actions - More emphasis on corrective actions, mitigation and follow-up

Key Differences with SEMS • Resource Management – Detailed resource typing, inventories, tracking, equipment certification • Certification/Qualifications – For emergency responders

Process to Integrate Executive Order S-02 -05 üDirects OES and OHS to integrate SEMS and NIMS through the SEMS Advisory Board üIdentify statutory or regulatory changes necessary

SEMS/NIMS Integration Full NIMS Compliance FFY 07 SEMS/NIMS Integration Plan

Steps to take in FFFY 05 To Become NIMS Compliant States must: • Incorporate NIMS into existing training programs and exercises • Ensure that federal preparedness funding supports state, local, and tribal NIMS implementation • Incorporate NIMS into Emergency Operations Plans • Promote intrastate mutual aid agreements • Coordinate and provide NIMS technical assistance to local entities • Institutionalize use of ICS State/counties/tribes should: – Complete NIMS Awareness Course – IS 700 – Formally adopt NIMS principles and policies – Establish a NIMS compliance baseline – Develop a timeframe and strategy for full NIMS implementation – Institutionalize use of the Incident Command System From the 9/04 DHS letter to governors

Milestones & Deadlines Full Compliance Required by Every entity and tribal government that receives federal preparedness funds by FFY 2007 (per DHS 9/04 letter to Governors) DHS
