National Incident Management System
While most emergency situations are handled locally, when there's a major incident help may be needed from other jurisdictions, the state and the federal government. NIMS was developed so responders from different jurisdictions and disciplines can work together better to respond to natural disasters and emergencies, including acts of terrorism. NIMS benefits include a unified approach to incident management; standard command and management structures; and emphasis on preparedness, mutual aid and resource management.

NOTICE: FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute has removed from its online training site two ICS independent study courses for federal workers. The courses, which include ICS-100 for Federal Workers and ICS-200 for Federal Workers, were pulled for revision. Persons who took the courses while they were online do not have to take the revised courses when they are made available. Please note that these courses are for federal, not state or local personnel. The ICS courses for state and local officials and responders are up to date, available at www.training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/crslist.asp, and valid for all state and local training efforts.
