Identify Requirements

During an incident, personnel continually identify, validate, and refine resource needs. The process involves identifying: Type and quantity of resources needed Location where resources should be sent Who will receive and use the resources

Which NIMS Command and Coordination structures are offsite locations where staff from multiple agencies come together?

EOCS Emergency Operations Centers

EOC team is activated, including personnel from all assisting agencies, to support the response to a major incident or credible threat.

Full Activation

Which NIMS structure develops, recommends, and executes public information plans and strategies?

JIS Joint Information System

Command and Coordination

Leadership roles, processes, and recommended organizational structures for incident management at the operational and incident support levels and how these structures interact to manage incidents effectively and efficiently.

Demobilize

Managers begin planning and preparation for the demobilization process at the same time they begin mobilizing resources. Those responsible for resources in an incident should either reassign or demobilize resources as soon as they are no longer needed. Prior to demobilization, incident planning and logistics personnel plan for rehabilitation, replenishment, disposal of, and/ or return or restoration to operational condition for incident resources. The goal of demobilization is the orderly, safe, and efficient return of a resource to its original location and status.

NIMS (National Incident Management System)

NIMS is a scalable, flexible, and adaptable for all incidents NIMS is a set of concepts and principles for all threats.

resource management

Standard mechanisms to identify resource requirements and to order, acquire, mobilize, activate, track and report, demobilize, reimburse for, and inventory resources such as personnel, equipment, teams, and facilities.

The need for ______________ can complicate information sharing among emergency personnel.

confidentiality

The MAC Group does not replace the primary functions of EOCs or other dispatch organizations.

true

NIMS (National Incident Management System)

Consistent nationwide approach for federal , state, local and tribal governments to work effectively and efficiently together to plan and respond to crisis

Which of the following resource management key activities defines and categorizes incident resources by capability?

Identifying and Typing Resources

Regarding resource typing, which of the following characteristics are typically use to categorize resources?

capability

Which ICS structure enables different jurisdictions to jointly manage and direct incident activities with a single incident action plan?

unified command

Which of the following statements are accurate about an Area Command?

Area Commands are frequently established as Unified Area Commands and use the same principles as a Unified Command. Area Command is particularly relevant to situations with several Incident Command Posts (ICPs) requesting similar, scarce resources. An Area Command organization oversees the management of multiple incidents or a very large or evolving situation.

These agreements may authorize mutual aid:

Between two or more neighboring communities Among all jurisdictions within an state Between States, Territories and Tribal Governments Between Federal agencies Internationally Between government and NGOs and/or the private sector Among NGOs and/or private sector entities

Order and Acquire

Both incident command and emergency operations center staffs make initial and ongoing assessments of resource requirements based on incident priorities and objectives.

Certain EOC team members/organizations are activated to monitor a credible threat, risk, or hazard and/or to support the response to a new and potentially evolving incident

Enhanced steady state partial activation

Incident management is the application of resources by organizations to plan for, respond to, and recover from an incident. Priorities for incident management in planning, response, and recovery efforts include saving lives, stabilizing the incident, and protecting property and the environment. To achieve these priorities, incident management personnel use NIMS components in accordance with three NIMS guiding principles:

Flexibility Standardization Unity of Effort

Which Emergency Operations Center (EOC) structure may reflect an organization that focuses efforts on information, planning, and resource support?

Incident Support Model

Which Command Staff member serves as the incident command's point of contact for organizations not included in the Incident Command or Unified Command?

Liaison Officer

Mutual Aid Agreements

Mutual aid agreements establish the legal basis for two or more entities to share resources.

Activities that are normal for the EOC when no incident or specific risk or hazard has been identified; routine watch and warning activities.

Normal Operations/Steady State

Mobilize

Personnel and other resources begin mobilizing when notified through established channels. Upon notification, deploying personnel receive information to include: Date, time, and place of departure Mode of transportation to the incident Estimated date and time of arrival Reporting location and assigned supervisor Anticipated incident assignment Anticipated duration of deployment Resource order number Incident number Applicable cost and funding codes

Reimburse and Restock

Reimbursement provides for payment of expenses incurred by resource providers. Reimbursement processes: Establish and maintain the readiness of resources Collect bills and validate costs Ensure that resource providers are paid in a timely manner Restock through replacement or repair of damaged equipment

Communications and Information Management

Systems to ensure that decision makers, incident managers, and incident personnel have the information needed to make and implement decisions.

Which of the following is associated with multijurisdictional or multiagency incident management?

Unified Command

NIMS Command and Coordination Structures

When an incident occurs or threatens, local emergency personnel manage response using ICS. If the incident is large or complex, off-site EOCs activate to support on-scene operations. The incident personnel in the field and in EOCs receive policy guidance from MAC Groups. A Joint Information Center manages the Joint Information System (JIS) to ensure coordinated and accurate public messaging among all levels: ICS, EOC and MAC Group.

Which communications management practice includes specifying all of the communications systems and platforms that parties will use to share information?

agreements

In NIMS, when do managers plan and prepare for the demobilization process?

at the same time they begin mobilizing resources

Which NIMS Management Characteristic helps to eliminate confusion caused by conflicting instructions?

chain of command and unity of command

Which major NIMS Component describes recommended organizational structures for incident management at the operational and incident support levels?

command and coordination

The ______________________ are incident management personnel that the Incident Commander or Unified Command assign to directly support the command function.

command staff

Which NIMS Management Characteristic includes maintaining accurate and up-to-date inventories of personnel, equipment, teams, and supplies?

comprehensive resource management

The role of the receiving jurisdiction for mutual aid includes which of the following?

declining resources that does not meet needs.

Track and Report

incident personnel track resources from mobilization through demobilization using established resource tracking procedures. This process: Tracks the location of resources Helps staff prepare to receive and use resources Protects the safety and security of personnel, equipment, teams and facilities Enables resource coordination and movement

Which NIMS Management Characteristic allows units from diverse agencies to connect, share information, and achieve situational awareness?

integrated communications

Which of the following NIMS Management Characteristics allow units from diverse agencies to connect, share information, and achieve situational awareness?

integrated communications

Mutual aid

is the sharing of resources and services between jurisdictions and organizations
