1 National Incident Management System Impact of NIMS Implementation on Disaster Response and Recovery

2 NIMS Command & Management Lessons Learned Incident Command System (ICS) Positive Some form of ICS used at all levels of government during incident (Local, State, and Federal) Continued use of ICS requires significant additional training and exercises Need to standardize ICS forms and reporting in general for use by everyone Officials at all levels need to understand ICS, NIMS, and NRP and the use of Incident Actions Plans (IAPs) Need to standardize IAP formats between Joint Field Offices and practice incident action planning

3 NIMS Command & Management Lessons Learned (Continued) Incident Command System (ICS) IAP Issues: If done properly most of the questions asked by the White House, DHS, FEMA HQ can be answered from the IAP! IAP Issues: Need to use IAP s and operational reporting periods to answer requests IAP Issues: More time needs to be spent at all levels developing strategies and tactics that support incident objectives. Objectives, strategies and tactics need to support field objectives. Bottom up not top down! Strike teams and liaison functions at all levels need to be formalized

4 NIMS Preparedness Lessons Learned Must figure out a way to balance the emphasis between natural hazard and terrorism preparedness activities Need to continue to build Federal, state, and local capability (i.e. evacuation plans, distribution plans, purchasing plans, etc.) Additional planning, training and exercising necessary Feds, States, Locals need to train and exercise together

5 NIMS Preparedness Lessons Learned (Continued) Nationwide credentialing system needs to continue to be a priority Need to build our response capability by growing our personnel to fill positions All positions need to be typed and trained at that level Need to pre-designate Incident Management Teams (IMT s) along with strike teams and liaison personnel Involve personnel from all Federal agencies in the response when disaster positions are identified and typed

6 NIMS Resource Management Lessons Learned Need compatible resource management systems at all levels of government so what when help arrives systems can be utilized Local jurisdictions need appropriate resource management tools and systems in place prior to the event. Resources need to be typed. Local government needs assistance is meeting resource typing requirements. Need to promote/educate all on mutual aid and the benefits of Emergency Management Assistance Compacts (EMAC)

7 NIMS Resource Management Lessons Learned (Continued) Pre-incident contracts should be established for commonly used resources (i.e. water, food, tents, tarps, generators, etc.) At all levels of government need to develop a better way to track resources from start to finish Field personnel need visibility on all resources requests (i.e. status of request, status of resource, location, arrival time, etc)

8 NIMS Communications and Information Management Lessons Learned Still need to emphasize the need for a common operating picture (and the tools to facilitate its development) for disasters Still need to emphasize the need for redundant communications at all levels of government Communications equipment must arrive at scene with arriving units Communications equipment must either be pre-positioned closer to disaster scenes or be made more mobile

9 The NIMS Integration Center Resource Management Principles Advance Planning Resource Identification and Ordering Categorizing Resources Use of Agreements Effective Management of Resources Acquisition Procedures Management Information Systems Ordering, Mobilizing, Dispatching, and Demobilization Protocols

10 The NIMS Integration Center 8 Elements of Managing Resources 1. Identifying and Typing Resources 2. Certifying and Credentialing Personnel 3. Inventorying Resources 4. Identifying Resource Requirements 5. Ordering and Acquiring Resources 6. Mobilizing Resources 7. Tracking and Reporting Resources 8. Recovering Resources 9. Reimbursement

11 The NIMS Integration Center Approach to Managing Resources Resources are: Persons Teams Equipment (non-expendable) Supplies (expendable) Resource Type Teams and Equipment by Capabilities Credential Persons by Skills and Abilities Supplies to support Persons, Teams and Equipment Perform Onsite Management, Utilization and Release

12 The NIMS Integration Center Approach to Resource Management -Disciplines Incident Management Emergency Medical Services Fire Services & Hazardous Materials Response Law Enforcement Medical / Public Health Public Works Search & Rescue Veterinary / Animal Control (added based on Katrina)

13 The NIMS Integration Center Resource Typing 120+ Resources Identified and Typed Represent most commonly requested resources in a national response, consisting of personnel, teams, and equipment (Pre-Katrina) Need to inventory and manage on a national basis

14 The NIMS Integration Center Resource Typing 121 typed resources are organized by: Category function for which the resource is most useful (firefighting, law enforcement, etc.) Kind broad class of characterization, such as teams, personnel, equipment, and supplies Type measure of minimum capabilities to perform its function, Type I implies a higher capability than Type II

15 The NIMS Integration Center Credentialing A nationwide credentialing system: Ensuring that personnel responding to an incident are properly trained and qualified Specifying and standardizing roles and responsibilities of first responders operating in emergencies Providing Uniform identification in accordance with Real ID Act and HSPD-12

16 The NIMS Integration Center Approach to Credentialing The NIC will work with existing State, Territory, or disciplinespecific credentialing bodies towards national recognition for multi-jurisdictional response under mutual aid agreements. The NIC will develop a discipline-specific approach that will build upon existing credentialing systems and efforts.

17 The NIMS Integration Center Resource Typing and Credentialing DHS pilot testing distributed identification system using FIPS 201 Card for National Capitol Region (NCR) NCR will pilot draft Fire Fighting Qualifications / Certifications as part of a complete Credentialing system

18 The NIMS Integration Center Resource Typing Requirements in FY06 & Out Years State, territorial, tribal and local government actions in the resource management arena include developing an inventory of response assets that conform to homeland security resource typing standards

19 The NIMS Integration Center NIMS Resource Inventory Management System (RIMS) To develop a freeware database management software that will systematically assist communities in the inventory and loading of NIMS Typed Resources NIMS-RIMS will have a merge capability that will permit resource data to be integrated from disciplines and cities into a county database or into a regional database or into a statewide database. NIMS-RIMS data will be exportable into other databases through XML mapping
