IS700 NIMS Course Summary Summary of Course Content Lesson 2: Command and Management Under NIMS-Part I Lesson Overview Analysis of past responses indicates that the most common cause of response failure is poor management. Confusion about who's in charge of what and when, together with unclear lines of authority, have been the greatest contributors to poor response. The Command and Management Under NIMS-Part 1 lesson introduces you to identify the benefits of using ICS as the model incident management system. Incident Command and Management NIMS employs two levels of incident management structures, depending on the nature of the incident. · The Incident Command System (ICS) is a standard, on-scene, all-hazard incident management system. ICS allows users to adopt an integrated organizational structure to match the needs of single or multiple incidents. Multiagency Coordination Systems are a combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications integrated into a common framework for coordinating and supporting incident management. NIMS requires that responses to all domestic incidents utilize a common management structure. The Incident Command System-or ICS-is a standard, on-scene, all-hazard incident management concept. ICS is a proven system that is used widely for incident management by firefighters, rescuers, emergency medical teams, and hazardous materials teams. ICS represents organizational "best practices" and has become the standard for incident management across the country. ICS is interdisciplinary and organizationally flexible to meet the needs of incidents of any kind, size, or level of complexity. Using ICS, personnel from a variety of agencies can meld rapidly into a common management structure. ICS has been tested for more than 30 years and used for: · Planned events. · Fires, hazardous materials spills, and multicasualty incidents. · Multijurisdictional and multiagency disasters, such as earthquakes and winter storms. Search and Rescue missions. · Biological outbreaks and disease containment. · Acts of terrorism. ICS helps all responders communicate and get what they need when they need it. ICS provides a safe, efficient, and cost-effective recovery strategy. ICS Features ICS has several features that make it well suited to managing incidents. These features include: NIMS Page 4
