Integrated Emergency Management System (IEMS) 13-Step Process
Integrated Emergency Management System (IEMS) 13-Step Process : "FEMA instituted IEMS in 1983. Its objective was to develop and maintain a credible emergency management capability nationwide by integrating activities along functional lines at all levels of government and, to the fullest extent possible, across all hazards. Through a 13-step process, IEMS collected basic information from State and local emergency management organizations on which reasonable and justifiable plans could be made and implemented to increase emergency management capabilities nationwide. The 13 steps in the IEMS process were: (1) Hazards analysis, (2) Capability assessment, (3) Emergency operations plan development, (4) Capability maintenance, (5) Mitigation efforts, (6) Emergency operations, (7) Emergency operations evaluation, (8) Capability determination shortfall, (9) Multi-year development plan for annual increments, (10) Modification of multi-year development plan for annual increments, (11) Estimate of State/local financial resource requirements, (12) Estimate of Federal financial resource requirements, and (13) Annual review of completed work". (FEMA, Multi Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, 1997, p. xxii). Note: IEMS was replaced by the Capability and Hazard Identification Program (CHIP) in 1989.
