This system will insure that <br />responders at the local, state, and federal level will operate under the same procedures. The u.S. <br />Department of Homeland Security requires the adoption of NIMS at the local level as a condition <br />for Federal preparedness assistance beginning in fiscal year 2005. <br /> <br />Cass Fargo Emergency Management is taking steps for the implementation ofNIMS in FY 2005 <br />through the provision ofNIMS training to all emergency responders in Cass County. <br /> <br />The recommended fust step is the adoption of a resolution by the Board of County <br />Commissioners. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Dave Rogness <br />Emergency Management Coordinator <br /> <br />Recommended Motion: I move that the Board of County Commissioners approve, establish and <br />designate, through the attached resolution, the National Incident Management System (NIMS) <br />as the standard for incident management within Cass County. <br />
