Visual 7: NIMS and NRF

NIMS guides all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations (NGO), and the private sector to work together to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from incidents. NIMS provides stakeholders across the whole community with the shared vocabulary, systems, and processes to successfully deliver the capabilities described in the National Preparedness System. NIMS defines operational systems that guide how personnel work together during incidents. NIMS applies to all incidents, from traffic accidents to major disasters. The NRF is a guide to how the Nation responds to all types of disasters and emergencies. It is built on scalable, flexible, and adaptable concepts identified in NIMS to align key roles and responsibilities across the Nation. The NRF describes the principles, roles and responsibilities, and coordinating structures for delivering the core capabilities required to respond to an incident.

Visual 8: 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.

Resource Management

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.

Command and Coordination

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.

Communications and Information Management

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.

Note

Following is a synopsis of each major component of NIMS:

  • Resource Management. 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.

Transcript - What is NIMS Resource Management?

During an incident, getting the right resources, to the right place, at the right time, can be a matter of life and death.

Resource management involves collaboration and coordination across jurisdictions and organizations to systematically manage resources—including personnel, equipment, teams, supplies and facilities.

Since most jurisdictions or organizations cannot own and maintain all of the resources necessary to address all potential threats and hazards, effective resource management includes leveraging each jurisdiction’s resources and encouraging the further development of mutual aid agreements.

Resource management preparedness involves four key activities: identifying and typing resources; qualifying, certifying, and credentialing personnel; planning for resources; and acquiring, storing, and inventorying resources.

Prior to an incident, resources are inventoried and categorized based on the characteristics of capability, category, kind and type.

Mutual aid partners exchange information about resource assets and needs. Resource readiness and credentialing are maintained through periodic training and exercises.

When an incident occurs, standardized procedures are used to:

  • Identify resource requirements,
  • Order and acquire resources, and
  • Mobilize resources.

The purpose of tracking and reporting is accountability. Resource accountability helps ensure responder safety and effective use of incident resources. As incident objectives are reached, resources may no longer be necessary. At this point, the demobilization process begins.

Demobilization is the orderly, safe, and efficient return of an incident resource to its original location and status. Finally, reimbursement and restocking activities ensure that resource providers are paid for their expenses and resources that have been depleted are replenished.

When disaster strikes, we must be able to take full advantage of all available and qualified resources. In this lesson you will learn how NIMS provides the mechanisms for ensuring that we can be inclusive and integrate resources from all levels of government, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations.

Lesson 1: Resource Management Overview SM-

Visual 10: Unit Summary

This unit introduced you to NIMS and NIMS Resource Management. In the next lesson, you will learn how jurisdictions work together in advance of an incident to develop plans to:

  • Identify resource needs based on the threats to and vulnerabilities of the jurisdiction.
  • Develop alternative strategies to obtain the needed resources.
  • Align policies, procedures, and protocols to ensure effective resource management.

Lesson 2: Resource Management Planning SM-

Visual 1: Lesson Overview

Any jurisdiction’s or agency's emergency management activities should be based on a thorough planning process, which is documented in its Emergency Operations Plan (EOP).

Jurisdiction and agency planning processes should include identifying resource needs based on the threats to and vulnerabilities of the jurisdiction and developing alternative strategies to obtain the needed resources.

This lesson will focus on the relationship between planning and resource management.

Lesson 2: Resource Management Planning SM-

Visual 2: Unit 2 Objectives

At the end of this Unit, you should be able to:

  • Describe the relationship of the jurisdiction’s advance planning to resource requirements.
  • Identify sources for emergency resources, including public, private, and nongovernmental organizations.
  • Describe the mechanisms for ensuring that resources are available during incidents.
  • Describe the relationships among various entities regarding resource management, and the enabling mechanisms that provide for seamless integration.

Lesson 2: Resource Management Planning SM-

Visual 4: Risk-Based Planning

The planning process includes identifying resource requirements based on the threats to, and vulnerabilities of, the jurisdiction or organization. Planning also includes developing alternative strategies to obtain needed resources. Resource management personnel should consider resources necessary to support all mission areas (Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery).

There are a number of methodologies that can be used for identifying your risks, but all methodologies should:

  • Identify possible kinds of incidents and their related threats, risks, or consequences. (What might happen?)
  • Quantify the likelihood of an occurrence of any given incident. (How likely is it to happen?)
  • Assess the most likely magnitude of any given incident. (How bad is it likely to be?)
  • Assess the percent of the population at risk from any given incident. (How many people might be injured or killed?)
  • Assess the severity of impact or likely consequences of any given incident. (How much damage is there likely to be?) This analysis will result in a picture of the most likely incidents, their potential consequences. Understanding what you are preparing to respond to will help you to identify the resources that are required.

Visual 5: Step 1: Identify Threats and Vulnerabilities

of the Jurisdiction

The first activity in establishing resource needs is to consider the anticipated threats and vulnerabilities and their potential consequences for your jurisdiction. In identifying threats and vulnerabilities, it is important to consider the cascading events or related emergencies that may follow an incident. For example, an earthquake may cause:

  • Building and bridge collapses
  • Hazardous materials spills
  • Utility outages Your jurisdiction’s Emergency Operations Plan should include hazard analysis information.
