Title: National Incident Management System and National Response Plan
1National Incident Management System and
National Response Plan
Presenter Mr. Bruce Belt
2Purpose
- Discuss NIMS and the NRP
- Provide summary of key components of the NIMS and
NRP - Provide summary of NRP development process
3Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5
- Directed Secretary, DHS to develop and
administer - National Incident Management System (NIMS)
- Core set of concepts, principles and terminology
for incident command and multiagency
coordination. - National Response Plan (NRP)
- All-discipline, all-hazards plan.
4National Incident Management SystemNIMS
- a consistent nationwide approach for Federal,
State, tribal, and local governments to work
effectively and efficiently together to prepare
for, prevent, respond to, and recover from
domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or
complexity
5NIMS What It Is / What Its Not
- NIMS is
- Core set of
- Doctrine
- Concepts
- Principles
- Terminology
- Organizational processes
- Applicable to all hazards
- NIMS is not
- An operational incident management plan.
- A resource allocation plan.
- A terrorism / WMD-specific plan.
- Designed to address international events.
6Key Concepts / Ongoing Support
- Flexibility
- Applicable regardless of incident cause, size,
location, or complexity. - Standardization
- Key to interoperability.
- Working on Standards initiative with Office of
Science and Technology. - Ongoing support NIMS Integration Center
7NIMS Components
- Command and Management
- Preparedness
- Resource Management
- Communications and Information Management
- Supporting Technologies
- Ongoing Management and Maintenance

9Relationship NIMS and NRP
National Incident Management System (NIMS)
NIMS aligns command, control, organization
structure, terminology, communication protocols,
resources and resource-typing for synchronization
of response efforts at all echelons of government.
Used for all events
Federal Response or Support
DHS integrates and applies Federal resources
both pre and post incident.
Resources, knowledge, and abilities from
Federal departments agencies.
State Response or Support
Local Response
Incident
National Response Plan (NRP)
Activated forincidents of national significance.
10Construction of the NRP
- Incorporates Key INRP Concepts
- Homeland Security Ops Center (HSOC)
- Interagency Incident Management Group (IIMG)
- Principal Federal Official (PFO)
- Joint Field Office (JFO)
- Fully Incorporates
- Federal Response Plan
- Domestic Terrorism Concept of Ops Plan
- Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan
- Initial NRP
- Other national-level contingency plans

11Organization of the NRP
Base Plan
Concept of Operations, Coordinating Structures,
Roles and Responsibilities, Definitions, etc.
Glossary, Acronyms, Authorities, and Compendium
of National Interagency Plans
Appendixes
Groups capabilities resources into functions
that are most likely needed during an incident
(e.g., Transportation, Firefighting, Mass Care,
etc.)
Emergency Support Function Annexes
Describes common processes and specific
administrative requirements (e.g., Public
Affairs, Financial Management, Worker Safety
Health, etc.)
Support Annexes
Outlines core procedures, roles and
responsibilities for specific contingencies
(e.g., Bio, Radiological, Cyber, HAZMAT Spills)
Incident Annexes
12Scope/Applicability
- Incidents of National Significance (HSPD-5
Criteria) - When another Federal department or agency has
requested DHS assistance - When State/local capabilities are overwhelmed and
Federal assistance is requested - When an incident substantially involves more than
one Federal department/agency - When the Secretary has been directed by the
President to assume incident management
responsibilities
13Concept of Operations
- Incidents handled at lowest possible
jurisdictional level - Consultation/coordination with other
departments/agencies to - Assess national implications
- Determine need for full or partial NRP activation
- Multiagency coordinating structures activated to
provide standardized approach for implementing
Federal responsibilities - Direct implementation of Federal authorities
- Federal support to State, local and tribal
governments - Federal-to-Federal support
- Proactive response to catastrophic incidents
- Coordinating structures provide national
capability - Ability to address impacts to the rest of the
country, execute immediate nation-wide actions to
avert or prepare for subsequent events, and
manage multiple incidents
