National Incident Management Assistance Teams (NIMAT)

National Incident Management Assistance Teams (NIMAT) are specialized teams deployed by the U.S. government to support state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies during large emergencies or disasters. They provide expert guidance on incident management, coordination, and resource allocation to ensure an effective and efficient response. NIMATs help assess operational needs, facilitate communication, and assist in implementing incident management best practices, ultimately enhancing the overall response effort to protect communities and save lives during crises.
