Incident Management

Incident Management collaborates government and nongovernment organizations and the private sector to work together to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from incidents. The National Incident Management system provides stakeholders across the whole community with the shared vocabulary, systems, and processes to successfully deliver the capabilities describe in the National Preparedness System. NIMS defines operational systems that guide how personnel work together during incidents.
