NIC 10
NIC 10 : NIMS Integration Center. NIC is established by the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as a program in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to assess proposed changes to NIMS, capture and evaluate lessons learned, and employ best practices. NIC strengthens response capabilities by identifying and integrating core elements and best practices for all responders and incident managers. Responders will be able to focus more on response, instead of organizing the response. NIC is physically located at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an entity in DHS. NIC provides strategic direction and oversight of NIMS, supporting both routine maintenance and continuous refinement of the system. NIC develops and facilitates national standards for NIMS education and training, first responder communications and equipment, typing of resources, qualification and credentialing of incident management and responder personnel, and standardization of equipment maintenance and resources. NIC uses the collaborative process of federal, state, tribal, local, multi-discipline and private authorities to assess prospective changes and assure continuity and accuracy
