  Planning/Intelligence, some terms are slightly
  different
• Corrective Actions - More emphasis on corrective
  actions, mitigation and follow-up

Steps to take in FFFY 05 To Become NIMS Compliant

• States must
• Incorporate NIMS into existing training programs
  and exercises
• Ensure that federal preparedness funding supports
  state, local, and tribal NIMS implementation
• Incorporate NIMS into Emergency Operations Plans
• Promote intrastate mutual aid agreements
• Coordinate and provide NIMS technical assistance
  to local entities
• Institutionalize use of ICS

• State/counties/tribes should
• Complete NIMS Awareness Course IS 700
• Formally adopt NIMS principles and policies
• Establish a NIMS compliance baseline
• Develop a timeframe and strategy for full NIMS
  implementation
• Institutionalize use of the Incident Command
  System

From the 9/04 DHS letter to governors

Milestones Deadlines
Full Compliance Required by Every entity and
tribal government that receives federal
preparedness funds by FFY 2007 (per DHS 9/04
letter to Governors)
