IS700 NIMS Course Summary Summary of Course Content Lesson 6: Resource Management Lesson Overview Resource management involves the coordination and oversight of personnel, tools, processes, and systems that provide incident managers with timely and appropriate resources during an incident. Historically, resource management has been an issue at incidents, both large and small. Resource management is an area of special attention under NIMS. This lesson will cover requirements for resource management under NIMS. At the end of this lesson, you should be able to describe how NIMS affects the way resources are managed before, during, and after an incident. What Is Resource Management? Resource management involves four primary tasks: · Establishing systems for describing, inventorying, requesting, and tracking resources · Activating those systems prior to, during, and after an incident · Dispatching resources prior to, during, and after an incident Deactivating or recalling resources during or after an incident The basic concepts and principles that guide resource management and allow these tasks to be conducted effectively are addressed by NIMS. These concepts and principles are described on the following screens. Resource Management Concepts Resource management under NIMS is based on: · Providing a uniform method of identifying, acquiring, allocating, and tracking resources. Classifying kinds and types of resources required to support incident management. · Using a credentialing system tied to uniform training and certification standards. · Incorporating resources contributed by private sector and nongovernmental organizations. Resource Management Principles Five key principles underlie effective resource management: 1. Advance planning: Preparedness organizations working together before an incident to develop plans for managing and using resources 2. Resource identification and ordering: Using standard processes and methods to identify, order, mobilize, dispatch, and track resources 3. Resource categorization: Categorizing by size, capacity, capability, skill, or other characteristics to make resource ordering and dispatch more efficient 4. Use of agreements: Developing preincident agreements for providing or requesting resources 5. Effective management: Using validated practices to perform key resource management tasks NIMS Page 19
