Resource Typing 4
Resource Typing 4 : "Resource typing is categorizing, by capability, the resources requested, deployed, and used in incidents. Measurable standards identifying the capabilities and performance levels of resources serve as the basis for categories. Resource users at all levels utilize these standards to identify and inventory resources. Resource kinds may be divided into subcategories to define more precisely the resource capabilities needed to meet specific requirements. Resource typing is a continuous process designed to be as simple as possible to facilitate frequent use and accuracy in obtaining needed resources. To allow resources to be deployed and used on a national basis, the NIC (with input from Federal, State, tribal, local, private sector, NGOs, and national professional organizations) is responsible for facilitating the development and issuance of national standards for the typing of resources and ensuring that these typed resources reflect operational capabilities".
