NIMS IS-700.B Final Exam

Flexibility Standardization Unity of Effort

Allows NIMS to be scalable from routine, local incidents through those requiring interstate mutual aid up to those requiring Federal assistance

Supports interoperability among multiple organizations in incident response

Improve integration and connectivity among organizations

Allow incident personnel and organizations to work together effectively

Enables effective communication

Enables organizations with jurisdictional authority or functional responsibilities to support each other while allowing each participating agency to maintain its own authority and accountability

1. Resource Management 2. Command and Coordination 3. Communications and Information Management

Standard mechanisms to systematics manage resources, including personnel, equipment, supplies, teams, and facilities, both before and during incidents in order to allow organizations to more effectively share resources when needed

Describes leadership roles, processes, and recommended organizational structures for incident management at the operational and incident support levels and explains how these structures interact to manage incidents effectively and efficiently

Describes systems and methods that help to ensure that incident personnel and other decision makers have the means and information they need to make and communicate decisions

1. Identifying and typing resources 2. Qualifying, certifying, and credentialing personnel 3. Planning for resources 4. Acquiring, storing, and inventorying resources

The resources capability to perform its function in one or more of the five mission areas: Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery

The function for a which a resource would be most useful (firefighting, law enforcement, health and medical)

A broad characterization, such as personnel, equipment, teams, and facilities

A resources level of capability to perform its function based on size, power, capacity (for equipment), or experience and qualifications; Type 1 has greater capacity than Type 2, 3, or 4

Personnel meet the minimum established standards (including training, experience, physical and medical fitness) to fill specific positions

Recognition from an AHJ or a third party that an individual has completed qualification for a position

Documentation- typically an ID card or badge- that identifies personnel and verifies their qualifications for a particular position

Identify: 1. Type and quantity of resources needed 2. Location where resources should be sent 3. Who will receive and use resources

Resource typing is designed for use here to ensure resources provided meet the mission needs

-Tracks the location of resources -Helps staff prep to receive and use resources -Protects the safety and security of personnel, equipment, teams and facilities -Enables Resource coordination and movement

The goal of demobilization is the orderly, safe, and efficient return of a resource to its original location and status

1. Establish and maintain the readiness of resources 2. Collect bills and validate costs 3. Ensure that resource providers are paid in a timely manner 4. Restock through replacement or repair of damaged equipment

The sharing of resources and services between jurisdictions or organizations

1. Incident Command Post (ICP) 2. Staging Areas 3. Incident Base 4. Camps

Incident Command Post- Location of the tactical-level, on-scene incident management (Incident Commander or Unified Command and Staff)

Temporarily position and account for personnel, supplies, and equipment awaiting assignment

Location at which personnel conduct primary support activities (may be co-located with the ICP)

Satellites on an incident base, established where they can best support incident operations by providing food, sleeping areas, sanitation, and minor maintenance and servicing of equipment

Oversees the management of multiple incidents or a very complex incident through establishing multiple ICS organizations

On-scene, tactical-level response

From off-site locations in order to: 1. Address imminent threats and hazards 2. Provide coordinated support to incident Command, on-scene personnel and/or other EOCs

1. ICS or ICS-like structure 2. Incident Support Model structure 3. Departmental structure

Full Activation

Enhanced steady-state/partial activation

Normal operations/steady state

1. Act as policy level body 2. Support resource prioritization and allocation 3. Make cooperative multi-agency decisions 4. Enable decision making among elected and appointed officials and the Incident Commander responsible for managing the incident

Integrates incident information and public affairs into a unified organization that provides consistent, coordinated, accurate, accessible, timely, and complete information to the public and stakeholders during incident operations

1. Develop and deliver coordinated interagency messages 2. Develop, recommend and execute public information plans and strategies 3. Advise on public affairs issues that could affect the incident Management effort 4. Address and manage rumors and inaccurate information that could undermine public confidence

1. Gathering 2. Verifying 3. Coordinating 4. Disseminating

1. State governors or tribal leaders request Federal assistance and their requests are approved 2. Federal interests are involved 3. Statute or regulation authorized or requires

1. Interoperability 2. Reliability, Scalability, and Portability 3. Resilience and Redundancy 4. Security

High level directions, including resource priority decisions, roles and responsibilities determinations, and overall incident management courses of action

Communications among and between on-scene and tactical personnel and cooperating agencies and organizations

Coordination and support of strategic and tactical communications

Alerts and warnings, press conferences

Incident-specific plans improve situational awareness and describe the objective and tactics of the incident management

Common communications protocols enable the dissemination of information among all incident management elements
