NIMS (National Incident Management System)

The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a standardized framework used in the United States for managing emergencies and disasters. It provides guidelines for responding to incidents, ensuring that government agencies, organizations, and communities can work effectively together. NIMS helps coordinate efforts during crises by establishing clear roles, communication protocols, and procedures. The goal is to enhance preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation across different levels of government and private sectors, making emergency responses more efficient and organized. This system ultimately aims to save lives and protect property during emergencies.
