IS700 NIMS Course Summary Summary of Course Content Managing Resources Resource management involves the coordination and oversight of tools, processes, and systems that provide Incident Commanders with the resources that they need during an incident. To assist local managers, NIMS includes standard procedures, methods, and functions in its resource management processes. By following the standards established by NIMS, resource managers are able to identify, order, mobilize, dispatch, and track resources more efficiently. Resource "typing" involves categorizing resources by capability based on measurable standards of capability and performance-for example, a 500-kilowatt generator. Resource typing defines more precisely the resource capabilities needed to meet specific requirements-and is designed to be as simple as possible to facilitate frequent use and accuracy in obtaining resources. Certification and credentialing help ensure that all personnel possess a minimum level of training, experience, physical and medical fitness, or capability for the position they are tasked to fill. NIMS also ensures that training material is current. Resource managers use various resource inventory systems to assess the availability of assets provided by public, private, and volunteer organizations. And resource managers identify, refine, and validate resource requirements throughout the incident using a process to identify: · What and how much are needed. Where and when it is needed. · Who will be receiving it. Because resource requirements and availability will change as the incident evolves, all entities must coordinate closely beginning at the earliest possible point in the incident. Requests for items that the Incident Commander cannot obtain locally must be submitted through the EGC or Multiagency Coordination Entity using standardized resource- ordering procedures. Resource managers use established procedures to track resources continuously from mobilization through demobilization. Resource tracking and mobilization are directly linked. When resources arrive on-scene, they must check in to start on-scene in-processing and validate the order requirements. Managers should plan for demobilization at the same time that they begin the mobilization process. Early planning for demobilization facilitates accountability and makes transportation of resources as efficient as possible. Recovery involves the final disposition of all resources. During recovery, resources are rehabilitated, replenished, disposed of, or retrograded. Reimbursement provides a mechanism for funding critical needs that arise from incident- specific activities. Processes and procedures must be in place to ensure that resource providers are reimbursed in a timely manner. NIMS Page 20
