NIMS

NIMS, or the National Incident Management System, is a standardized framework used across the U.S. to coordinate emergency response efforts. It provides common methods, processes, and terminology so different agencies—such as fire, police, medical, and government—can work together efficiently during emergencies like natural disasters, accidents, or terrorist attacks. NIMS helps ensure clear communication, defined roles, and coordinated actions, enabling a unified and effective response to protect lives, property, and communities.
