NIMS Implementation by Federal Departments and Agencies,
• Letter dated September 9, 2004
• All Federal departments and agencies are required to adopt the NIMS and use it in their individual domestic incident management and emergency prevention, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities, as well as in support of all actions taken to assist State or local entities. As a primary or support agency for the National Response Plan (NRP), it is critical that your department or agency implement the NIMS.
NIMS Compliance and Technical Assistance
• In 2004, DHS released the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as required by Homeland Security Presidential Directives(HSPD) - HSPD-5 Management of Domestic Incidents and HSPD-8 Preparedness.
• HSPD-5 established and designated the National Integration Center (NIC) Incident Management Systems Division as the lead federal entity to coordinate NIMS compliance.
• Its primary function is to ensure that NIMS remains an accurate and effective management tool through refining and adapting compliance requirements to address ongoing preparedness needs.
National Integration Center (NIC) Incident Management Systems Division (IMSD)
• Its primary function is to ensure that NIMS remains an accurate and effective management tool through refining and adapting compliance requirements to address ongoing preparedness needs.
Revised Federal Response Document - NRF
• On September 10, 2007, the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) completed an extensive review of the National Response Plan (NRP).
• As a result of this review, the NRP was renamed the National Response Framework (NRF), and changes were made to better align the document with its intended purpose.
National Response Framework
• Retains the same core principles contained in the National Incident Management System (NIMS) by which first responders from different jurisdictions and disciplines can work together to respond to natural disasters and emergencies, including acts of terrorism.
National Response Framework• Also encourages a higher state of
readiness by drawing a sharper focus on the value of preparedness activities that can improve response across all jurisdictions: planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, and applying lessons learned.
• Mastery of these key tasks supports unity of effort, and thus our ability to save lives, protect property, and meet basic human needs.
National Response Framework
• There is a new IS-800 Course
• If you are working on the IS-800a, then you must submit the exam before March 31, 2008.

Revised NIMS Document • The NIMS document was revised in 2007 to
reflect contributions from stakeholders around the Nation and lessons learned from recent incidents.
• The revision focused on clarifying concepts, issues, and topics within the document without any major policy changes.
• The document was reorganized to reflect the linear progression of emergency management and incident response, and diagrams and textboxes were added to increase clarity and highlight key concepts.
