NIMS Requires Sub-Grantees to Resource Type all Equipment and Teams.
Resource Typing is the categorization and description of response resources that are commonly exchanged in disasters through Mutual Aide Agreements.
RIEMA is developing a Web EOC based data entry program that will be available to all cities and towns to utilize for Resource Typing.

NIMS Requires Sub-Grantees to “Credential” Emergency Response Personnel. Credentialing is an evidence-based system that defines levels of proficiency for all of the FEMA’s Disaster Workforce position commonly exchanged in disasters through Mutual Aide Agreements. Credentialing ensures that during the time of a disaster FEMA has prepared and qualified staff to execute its mission. RIEMA is developing a Credentialing Process that it will share with the local cities and town to meet NIMS requirements.
