National Incident Management System (NIMS) Training for Policy Makers and Executives
SUBJECT:
RECOMMENDATION:
No action required.
BACKGROUND:
On February 28, 2003, the President issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-5),
Management of Domestic Incidents, which directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and
administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS).
This system provides a consistent nationwide template to enable Federal, State, and local governments to
work together effectively and efficiently to prepare for, prevent, respond to, and recover from domestic
incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity, including acts of catastrophic terrorism. The directive
also requires Federal departments and agencies to make adoption of the NIMS by State and local
organizations a condition for Federal preparedness assistance (through grants, contracts, and other
activities) beginning in FY 2005. By September 30,2007, jurisdictions will be required by Federal rules to
comply with the FY07 NIMS training requirements to receive FY08 emergency preparedness grants. As
policy makers, the City Council is also required to receive training on the NIMS to become familiar with the
system and standards used during an emergency.
Staff recommends city councilmembers, department heads and other key personnel attend a NIMS
Executive Workshop to be held on Wednesday, July 11, 2007. The class will be held at the Holiday Inn
Select in the Beale Room at 5:15PM.
