Dear National Incident Management System Community: Originally issued in 2004, the National Incident Management System (NIMS) provides a consistent nationwide template to enable partners across the Nation to work together to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity. Since the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) last revised the NIMS. guidance in 2008, the risk environment has evolved, and our National Incident Management capabilities have matured. This revision incorporates lessons learned and best practices from a wide variety of disciplines, at all levels of government, from the private sector, tribes, and nongovernmental organizations.
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) defines this comprehensive approach. NIMS guides all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations (NGO), and the private sector to work together to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from incidents. NIMS provides stakeholders across the whole community
