National Incident Management System (NIMS), an Introduction
On February 28, 2003,
President Bush issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5 (HSPD-5).
This directive instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and
administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS). The NIMS provides a
consistent nationwide template to enable all government, private-sector, and
nongovernmental organizations to in concert during domestic incidents. This
course explains the purpose, principles, key components, and benefits of
NIMS. It also contains "Planning Activity" screens giving you an opportunity
to practice some planning tasks. (0.3 CEUs)
IS-701: NIMS Multiagency Coordination System (MACS) Course
This course introduces
Multiagency Coordination (MAC) Systems as described in the National Incident

incident response. MAC Systems consist of a combination of elements:
personnel, procedures, protocols, business practices, and communications
integrated into a common system. After taking this course, you should be able
to improve the overall coordination with, and support for, incident
management by developing and operating within MAC Systems. While this course
discusses the Incident Command System (ICS), it is not a substitute for ICS

Systems
The National Incident
Management System (NIMS) provides a consistent nationwide template to enable
all government, private-sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work
together during domestic incidents. This includes public information. The
public information systems described in NIMS are designed to effectively
manage public information at an incident, regardless of the size and
complexity of the situation or the number of entities involved in the
response. (0.3 CEUs)

This course introduces resource management as described in the National
Incident Management System (NIMS), and shows how systems for managing

participant in planning for resource management. (0.3
CEUs)
IS-704: NIMS
Communications and Information Management
This interactive computer-based course introduces you to the
Communications and Information Management component of the National Incident
Management System (NIMS). NIMS provides a consistent nationwide template to
enable all government, private-sector, and nongovernmental organizations to
work together during domestic incidents. Effective emergency management and
incident response activities rely on flexible communications and information
systems that provide a common operating picture to emergency
management/response personnel and their affiliated organizations.
Establishing and maintaining a common operating picture and ensuring
accessibility and interoperability are the principal goals of the
Communications and Information Management component of NIMS. Properly
planned, established, and applied communications enable the dissemination of
information among command and support elements and, as appropriate,
cooperating agencies and organizations. (0.2 CEUs)
