Command and Management (1st of Six NIMS Major Components, 2004)
Command and Management (1st of Six NIMS Major Components, 2004) : "NIMS standard incident command structures are based on three key organizational systems: (1) The ICS. The ICS defines the operating characteristics, interactive management components, and structure of incident management and emergency response organizations engaged throughout the life cycle of an incident; (2) Multiagency Coordination Systems. These define the operating characteristics, interactive management components, and organizational structure supporting incident management entities engaged at the Federal State, local, tribal, and regional levels through mutual-aid agreements and other assistance arrangements; and (3) Public Information Systems. These refer to processes, procedures, and systems for communicating timely and accurate information to the public during crisis or emergency situations". (DHS, NIMS, 2004, p. 3; at p. 7 Command and Management is described by reference to ICS, Multiagency Coordination Systems and the Joint Information System (JIS) emphasis added)
