National Incident Management System What? . . . NIMS provides a consistent
nationwide template . . .
Who? . . . to enable Federal, State, tribal, and local governments, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work together . . .
How? . . . to prepare for, prevent, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity . . .
Why? . . . in order to reduce the loss of life and property, and harm to the environment.

What Is Multiagency Coordination?
Multiagency coordination: Is a process that allows all
levels of government to work together more effectively.
Occurs across different disciplines.
Can occur on a regular basis whenever personnel from different agencies interact.

Multiagency Coordination System
NOT simply a physical location or facility. Rather, a system that: Defines business practices,
operating procedures, and protocols.
Provides support, coordination, and assistance.
Coordinate
To advance an analysis and exchange of information systematically among principals who have or may have a need to know certain information to carry out specific incident management responsibilities.

Why Multiagency Coordination? To establish and clarify policy. To help establish a common
operating picture. To set priorities among
incidents and resolve critical resource issues.
To facilitate logistics support and resource tracking.
To synchronize messaging to ensure that we are speaking with one voice.

Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs)
An EOC: Supports the on-scene
response. Has a physical location with
staff. Communicates with the
incident site. Is managed through protocols. Is applicable at different levels
of government.

EOC Organization and Staffing
EOCs may be: Organized by:
Major discipline. Emergency support function. Jurisdiction. Some combination thereof.
Staffed by personnel representing multiple jurisdictions and functional disciplines.

Coordination (MAC) Group
A Coordination or MAC Group: Does not have any direct
involvement. Can function virtually. May be established at any
level or within any discipline.
Understanding Multiagency CoordinationIS-701.A – February 2010

MAC Group Membership
The success of the MAC Group depends on membership.
Organizations that should be members include: Directly impacted
organizations, Business organizations, Volunteer organizations, and Other organizations with
special expertise.
