NIMS 100-200
3 major components of NIMS - ANS- resource management; command and coordination
(incl. incident command); communications and information management
14 proven NIMS management characteristics: - ANS- common terminology;modular
organization; management by objectives; incident action planning; manageable span of
control; incident facilities and locations; comprehensive resource management;
integrated communications; establishment and transfer of command; unified command;
chain of command; accountability; dispatch/deployment; information/intelligence
management
common terminology - ANS- organizational functions; resource descriptions; incident
facilities
modular organization - ANS- based on incidents size and complexity
effective incident action planning: - ANS- cover a specified time frame; be proactive;
specify the objectives; assign responsibilities;identify needed resources; specify
communication protocols
Manageable Span of Control - ANS- generally 1:5
incident facilities - ANS- incident command; incident base; mass casualty triage areas;
point of distribution; emergency shelters
comprehensive resource management - ANS- resource identification; order and acquire;
mobilize; track and report; demobilize; reimburse and restock
unified command - ANS- command organization in which several agencies work
independently but cooperatively (no one single commander)
unity of command / accountability - ANS- receive and report to one ICS
info and intelligence management comes from: - ANS- 911 calls; Radio, video and data
communication; Situation Reports (SITREPS);Technical specialists; Geospatial
products;Print, online, broadcast, and social media
Risk assessments;
Terroristic or violent threats;
Surveillance of disease outbreaks;
Structural plans and vulnerabilities
, to promote accountability, which document outlines the method for coordinating
response operations - ANS- incident action plan
5 major ICS functional areas - ANS- command, operations, planning, logistics, finance
and admin
Incident command - ANS- Sets the incident objectives, strategies, and priorities, and has
overall responsibility for the incident
Operations - ANS- Conducts operations to reach the incident objectives. Establishes
tactics and directs all operational resources; organize/supervise tactical response
resources
Planning - ANS- prepares and documents the IAP; Supports the incident action planning
process by tracking resources, collecting/analyzing information, and maintaining
documentation.
Logistics - ANS- Arranges for resources and needed services to support achievement of
the incident objectives (resources can include personnel, equipment, teams, supplies,
and facilities).
Finance/admin - ANS- Monitors costs related to the incident. Provides accounting,
procurement, time recording, and cost analyses.
Public Information Officer - ANS- Interfaces with the public and media and/or with other
agencies regarding incident-related information requirements.
safety officer - ANS- In incident command, the person who gives the "go ahead" to a
plan or who may stop an operation when rescuer safety is an issue.
liaison officer - ANS- In incident command, the person who relays information, concerns,
and requests among responding agencies.
incident coordination - ANS- -Establishing policy based on interactions with agency
executives, other agencies, and stakeholders.
-Collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information to support the establishment of a
common operating picture.
-Establishing priorities among incidents.
-Resolving critical resource issues.
-Facilitating logistics support and resource tracking.
-Synchronizing public information messages to ensure everyone is speaking with one
voice.
