<br />IS700 NIMS Course Summary Summary of Course Content <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Publication management processes and activities. <br />Mutual aid agreements and Emergency Management Assistance Compacts. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Resource Management <br /> <br />When fully implemented, NIMS will define standardized mechanisms and establish <br />requirements for describing, inventorying, mobilizing, dispatching, tracking, and <br />recovering resources over the life cycle of an incident. <br /> <br />Communications and Information Management <br /> <br />NIMS identifies the requirements for a standardized framework for communications, <br />information management, and information-sharing support at all levels of incident <br />management. <br /> <br />· Incident management organizations must ensure that effective, interoperable <br />communications processes, procedures, and systems exist across all agencies <br />and jurisdictions. <br />Information management systems help ensure that information flows efficiently <br />through a commonly accepted architecture. Effective information management <br />enhances incident management and response by helping to ensure that <br />decisionmaking is better informed. <br /> <br />Supporting Technologies <br /> <br />Technology and technological systems provide supporting capabilities essential to <br />implementing and refining NIMS. Examples include: <br /> <br />· Voice and data communication systems. <br />· Information management systems, such as recordkeeping and resource tracking. <br />Data display systems. <br /> <br />Supporting technologies also include specialized technologies that facilitate ongoing <br />operations and incident management activities in situations that call for unique <br />technology-based capabilities. <br /> <br />Ongoing Management and Maintenance <br /> <br />DHS established the NIMS Integration Center to provide strategic direction and oversight <br />in support of routine review and continual refinement of both the system and its <br />components over the long term. <br /> <br />NIMS <br /> <br />Page 3 <br />
