Resource Management Concepts and Principles in DHS
Resource Management Concepts and Principles in DHS : "The core concepts and principles of resource management as taught by DHS (and as defined in the NIMS Document) incorporate the following components: Resource management involves coordination and overseeing the application of tools, processes, and systems that provide incident managers with timely and appropriate resources during an incident. Resources include personnel, teams, facilities, equipment, and supplies. Resource management involves the four primary tasks noted below. (1) The establishment of systems for describing, inventorying, requesting, and tracking resources. (2) The activation of these systems prior to and during an incident. (3) The dispatching of resources prior to and during an incident. (4) The deactivating or recalling of resources during or after an incident. The underlying concepts that shall be included in NIMS resources management training include the following: (5) Resource management provides a uniform method of identifying, acquiring, allocating, and tracking resources. (6) Resource management uses effective mutual-aid and donor assistance and is enable by the standardized classification of kinds and types of resources required to support the incident management organization. (7) Resource management uses a credentialing system tied to uniform training and certification standards to ensure the requested personnel resources are successfully integrated into ongoing incident operations. (8) Resource management coordination is the responsibility of the EOCs and/or multi-agency coordination entities, as well as specific elements of the ICS structure (e.g., the Resources Unit). (9) Resource management should encompass resources contributed by the private-sector and non-governmental organizations. (10) Training dealing with NIMS resource management shall describe to participants the components of resource management and establish relationships between all elements of resource management with the multi-agency coordination system under NIMS".
