"Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Integration Center - Incident Management Systems Division developed the NIMSCAST to help State, territorial, tribal, and local jurisdictions to maintain their national baseline compliance, as established in FYs 2005-2006, compliance with the NIMS.... The NIMS Compliance Assistance Support Tool (NIMSCAST) is designed as the premier, web-based self-assessment instrument for State, territorial, tribal, local governments to evaluate and report their jurisdiction's achievement of all NIMS implementation activities released since 2004. The NIMSCAST is designed for the emergency management community as a comprehensive self-assessment support tool. Using the NIMSCAST will assist the nation's emergency management community to comply with NIMS requirements, as determined by the National Integration Center. Additionally, HSPD-5 requires Federal Departments and agencies to make adoption of the NIMS by State and local organizations a condition for Federal preparedness assistance. The NIMSCAST facilitates the adoption of the NIMS by State, local, and tribal governments in order to meet the requirement established in HSPD-5". (FEMA, About NIMSCAST)
