National Incident Management System (NIMS)

The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a framework used by governments and organizations in the United States to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters. It provides a standardized approach to coordinating efforts among various agencies, ensuring that they work together effectively. NIMS outlines roles, responsibilities, and procedures for managing incidents, helping to streamline communication and resource allocation. By promoting a unified response, NIMS aims to enhance public safety and reduce the impact of incidents on communities.
