The National Incident Management System (NIMS) builds on the long-used Incident Command System (ICS)
Question 1
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) builds on the long-used Incident Command System (ICS) and the principles of unified command. NIMS is mandated by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 and many federal grants and other funding sources that require compliance. Public safety officials objected to the development and implementation of NIMS as being inflexible. Despite the availability of expertise and experience, should it be revisited? Do you support the mandatory implementation of NIMS? Justify your position.
Question 2
Provide one of the following:
A brief case study that you believe shows how NIMS was implemented and proved to be ineffective.
A case study in which NIMS likely improved coordination and communication during an incident.
How do you feel your example case study supports your position about NIMS?
