Visual 12: Why ICS?
All levels of government, the private sector, and nongovernmental agencies must be prepared to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from a wide spectrum of major events and natural disasters that exceed the capabilities of any single entity. Threats from natural disasters and human- caused events, such as terrorism, require a unified and coordinated national approach to planning and to domestic incident management.
Visual 13: Homeland Security Presidential Directives
HSPD-5, Management of Domestic Incidents , identified steps for improved coordination in response to incidents. It required the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to coordinate with other Federal departments and agencies and State, local, and tribal governments to establish a National Response Framework (NRF) and a National Incident Management System (NIMS). HSPD-8, National Preparedness , directed DHS to lead a national initiative to develop a National Preparedness System—a common, unified approach to “strengthen the preparedness of the United States to prevent and respond to threatened or actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies.” Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8), National Preparedness , describes the Nation's approach to preparedness-one that involves the whole community, including individuals, businesses, community- and faith-based organizations, schools, tribes, and all levels of government (Federal, State, local, tribal and territorial).

Visual 15: Major Components of NIMS
Jurisdictions and organizations involved in the management of incidents vary in their authorities, management structures, communication capabilities and protocols, and many other factors. The major components of NIMS provide a common framework to integrate these diverse capabilities and achieve common goals. The application of all three components is vital to successful NIMS implementation.
Note
Resource Management describes standard mechanisms to systematically manage resources, including personnel, equipment, supplies, teams, and facilities, both before and during incidents in order to allow organizations to more effectively share resources when needed.
Note
Command and Coordination describes leadership roles, processes, and recommended organizational structures for incident management at the operational and incident support levels and explains how these structures interact to manage incidents effectively and efficiently.
Note
Communications and Information Management describes systems and methods that help to ensure that incident personnel and other decision makers have the means and information they need to make and communicate decisions.
