National Incident Management System Julie Collins Office of Safe Schools Florida Department of Education julie.collins@fldoe.org Intro Grand Canyon NIMS experience U.S. Department of Education - Safe and Drug-Free Schools Emergency Response and Crisis Management Initial Grantee Meeting

What is the National Incident Management System (NIMS)? A comprehensive, national approach to incident management Applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across all disciplines. Established in 2004 Provides standardized method to respond to all emergencies Local jurisdictions that receive federal emergency preparedness funds are required to be NIMS compliant

NIMS Integration Center Provides "strategic direction for and oversight of the National Incident Management System (NIMS)... supporting both routine maintenance and the continuous refinement of the system and its components over the long term." DHS created the NIC to develop standards, oversee the implementation and provide TA The NIC has several resources on their site (LEFT MENU) that we'll refer to during this presentation. www.fema.gov/emergency/nims/index

Are all school districts required to be NIMS compliant? All local education agencies receiving federal emergency preparedness funding, such as the Emergency Response and Crisis Management grant dollars, are required to support the implementation of NIMS.

Coordinating NIMS Plans with Local Government School districts are an integral part of local government, their use of NIMS should be achieved in close coordination with other components of the local government. School districts are not traditional response organizations and more typically are recipients of first responder services provided by fire and rescue, emergency medical and law enforcement agencies. This traditional relationship should be acknowledged in achieving NIMS compliance within an integrated local government plan for NIMS compliance. School district participation in local government's NIMS preparedness program is essential to ensure that first responder services are delivered to schools in a timely and effective manner.

NIMS Compliance for Schools Conduct training Adopt principles and policies Establish baseline for compliance Incorporate Incident Command System (ICS) into plans Formalize information systems Incorporate corrective actions and lessons learned Require completion of NIMS courses..."roles-based" training: - non-supervisory ICS 100 - supervisory ICS 200 - sections chiefs ICS 800 - ICS 700 is a NIMS introduction Adopt NIMS principles and policies - via board resolution - see NIC "tools and templates" for samples Assess and establish a baseline for NIMS compliance - work with the local public safety community to determine where you are and need to be. Establish a baseline with action steps to meet NIMS goals. NIMCAST can be a useful tool in this effort (see NIC page) ICS and NIMS should be incorporated into all drills and exercises as well as actual emergencies - terminology, etc.

The Six Components of NIMS Command and Management Preparedness Resource Management Communications and Information Management Supporting Technologies Ongoing Management and Maintenance

NIMS Component #1 Incident Command System Command and Management Preparedness Multi-agency Coordination Systems Resource Management Communications and Information Management Public Information Systems Supporting Technologies Explain the six components and why they are important: Command and Management -ICS/MAC/PIO Preparedness-PTE Resource Management- Communications and Information Management Supporting Technologies Ongoing Management and Maintenance Ongoing Management and Maintenance

Sample School Based ICS Incident Commander and Incident Command Team Public Information Officer Liaison Officer Safety Officer Operations Planning Logistics Finance & Administration Finance & Administration & Administration Health Services/First Aid Documentation/Recorder Transportation Insurance Claims Command Upon arriving at an incident, (usually) the higher ranking person will either assume command, maintain command as is, or transfer command to a third party IC provides overall leadership, delegates tasks and authority, initiates contact with other agencies, assesses staffing needs, establishes incident objectives, directs development of IAP Operations Develops/implements strategy & tactics to carry out incident objectives. Organizes, assigns, and supervises the tactical field resources. Supervises air operations and those resources in a Staging Area. Directs and coordinates all incident tactical operations. Is typically one of the first organizations to be assigned to the incident. Has the most incident resources. Planning Gathers, analyzes, and disseminates information and intelligence. Manages the planning process. Maintains resource status. Maintains and displays situation status. Compiles and Prepares the Incident Action Plan. Develops alternative strategies. Provides documentation services. Prepares the Demobilization Plan. Logistics Provides resources and services required to support incident activities. Contracts for and purchases goods and services needed at the incident. Responsible for communications, medical support to incident personnel, food for incident personnel, supplies, facilities and ground support. Finance/Administration Is responsible for financial and cost analysis. Oversees contract negotiations and monitoring. Tracks personnel and equipment time. Processes claims for accidents, damages and injuries. Works with Logistics to ensure resources are procured.

What Is ICS? The Incident Command System: Is a standardized, on-scene, all-hazard incident management concept. Allows its users to adopt an integrated organizational structure to match the complexities and demands of single or multiple incidents without being hindered by jurisdictional boundaries.

ICS Purposes Using management best practices, ICS helps to ensure: The safety of responders and others. The achievement of tactical objectives. The efficient use of resources.

ICS Benefits Meets the needs of incidents of any kind or size. Allows personnel from a variety of agencies to meld rapidly into a common management structure. Provides logistical and administrative support to operational staff. Is cost effective by avoiding duplication of efforts.

Key Elements of ICS Common terminology (Plain English) Modular organization Manageable span of control (3-7) Organizational facilities Use of position titles Reliance on an Incident Action plan Integrated communications Accountability

Multi-Agency Coordination Across disciplines or jurisdictions Responders use common resources and procedures Often involves unified command (on-scene) and EOC activation (remote)

Public Information School districts should: Identify a public information officer to be the primary liaison for communicating with the pubic during an emergency Disseminate all pertinent information through the designated public information officer Create information centers to execute predetermined processes and procedures for communication during and after a crisis Multi-agency response will require a Joint Information Center Unified message - accurate and timely Joint Information Center: what a JIC is, where it is located and who should be represented

NIMS Component #3 Command and Management Preparedness Resource Management Communications and Information Management Supporting Technologies Ongoing Management and Maintenance

Resource Management When fully implemented, NIMS will define standardized mechanisms and establish requirements for describing, inventorying, mobilizing, dispatching, tracking, and recovering resources over the life cycle of an incident. Resource typing (credentialing, type I-IV resources, etc.) More info on "resource management/mutual aid" tab National guidance on resources - work with your public safety community on purchases to make sure they meet national standards.

Resource Management www.safecomprogram.gov Resource "typing" involves categorizing resources by capability based on measurable standards —such as a 500-kilowatt generator. Resource typing defines the capabilities needed to meet specific requirements as simply as possible.

NIMS Component #4 Command and Management Preparedness Resource Management Communications and Information Management Supporting Technologies Ongoing Management and Maintenance

Communications and Information Management A standardized framework for communications, information management, and information-sharing support at all levels of incident management. Organizations must ensure that effective, interoperable communications processes, procedures, and systems exist across all agencies and jurisdictions. Information management systems help ensure that information flows efficiently. Effective information management ensures that decision making is better informed. NIMS identifies the requirements for a standardized framework for communications, information management, and information-sharing support at all levels of incident management. Incident management organizations must ensure that effective, interoperable communications processes, procedures, and systems exist across all agencies and jurisdictions. Information management systems help ensure that information flows efficiently through a commonly accepted architecture. Effective information management enhances incident management and response by helping to ensure that decision making is better informed.

NIMS Component #5 Command and Management Preparedness Resource Management Communications and Information Management Supporting Technologies Ongoing Management and Maintenance

Supporting Technologies Technology and technological systems provide supporting capabilities essential to implementing and refining NIMS. Examples include: Voice and data communication systems. Information management systems, such as recordkeeping and resource tracking. Data display systems. Provide a school example here Technology and technological systems provide supporting capabilities essential to implementing and refining NIMS. Examples include: Voice and data communication systems. Information management systems, such as recordkeeping and resource tracking. Data display systems. Supporting technologies also include specialized technologies that facilitate ongoing operations and incident management activities in situations that call for unique technology-based capabilities.

NIMS Component #6 Command and Management Preparedness Resource Management Communications and Information Management Supporting Technologies Ongoing Management and Maintenance

Ongoing Management and Maintenance DHS established the NIMS Integration Center to provide strategic direction and oversight in support of routine review and continual refinement of both the system and its components over the long term.

Ongoing Management and Maintenance School districts should review their compliance status annually and consider: Staff changes (training) Partnership changes (annexation, etc.) Emergency plan updates Equipment upgrades

NIMS & the National Response Plan (NRP) NIMS standardizes: Incident management processes Protocols Procedures for use by all responders. And mandates use of ICS. NRP establishes: Federal coordination structures/ mechanisms. Direction for incorporation of existing plans. Consistent approach to managing incidents. Review the key points on the visual. Augment the discussion using the following additional key points: In Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-5, the President directed that the Department of Homeland Security develop a new National Response Plan (NRP) to align Federal coordinating structures, capabilities, and resources into a unified, all-discipline, and all-hazards approach to domestic incident management. The National Response Plan is based upon the belief that incident are typically managed at the lowest possible geographic, organizational, and jurisdictional level.
