CIMS (Crisis Incident Management System)

CIMS, or Crisis Incident Management System, is a structured approach used by organizations to prepare for, respond to, and recover from crises or emergencies. It provides a clear framework for coordinating efforts among various teams, ensuring effective communication, and managing resources during critical situations, such as natural disasters, public health emergencies, or security threats. By establishing defined roles and procedures, CIMS helps minimize chaos, protect lives, and reduce damage to property and assets during incidents. Essentially, it is a tool for organizations to navigate through crises efficiently and effectively.
