The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is the consistent emergency management structure that has been adopted by countless companies to create a more effective, coordinated emergency response. The implementation of NIMS by an organization creates a baseline capability that can be a foundation for prevention, preparedness, response and recovery strategies. NIMS enables responders from a variety of jurisdictions and disciplines to work together through common operating principles, terminology and organizational processes to improve interoperability when responding to an emergency.
