National Incident Management System (NIMS) Guide for County Officials

What will this guide do for me? The Guide to NIMS for County Officials explains the key points of NIMS and how they apply to county governments in these core areas:

• Local NIMS adoption
• NIMS implementation
• Training  (what training is required for whom)
• Disaster and emergency response planning (including mutual aid agreements)
• Exercises to test capability to respond to disasters and emergencies
• Resource management  (including typing of resources)
• Communications and information management for emergency response
