Editor's Notes

  1. But such agreements were not adequate to provide the full range of assistance required to: Save Lives Protect Property Provide immediate shelter and assistance Begin Recovery So statewide mutual aid was implemented bringing: Technical Rescue Teams, Additional law enforcement personnel, Il Emergency Management (IEMA) forward communications van, Incident Management Teams, and Red Cross assistance By the next day Federal Emergency Management Agency assistance from Chicago was on scene…and utility crews were at work to reestablish power and communications.
  2. NIMS provides a comprehensive, national approach to incident management that is applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across disciplines. There are at least 5 sources of major disaster events: Natural Disasters. As we know, Illinois has nearly all types of natural disasters including weather-related events (Floods, tornadoes and wind, snow & ice storms, earthquakes – New Madrid Fault, etc.) Accidents. Illinois is the transportation crossroads of America carrying every type of potential catastrophic material…road, rail, air, barge, pipeline. We also have critical manufacturing also using hazardous materials…how do you preplan for and respond to such events? Civil or Political Incidents. May be occasioned by labor strikes or political demonstrations Terrorist or Criminal Incidents. A bombing, hostage situation, suspected chemical release, intentional biological attack, a series of major arson events, highly volatile gang activities, meth labs… Significant Community Events. Does your community have events that attract citizens and vendors from a wide area? What each of these types of events has in common is that the demand extensive planning and resources, NIMS can help.

  6. Major events occur in differing ways, which can have substantial impact on your decisions and response requirements. They may be based upon a known event such as: A catastrophic trigger (bomb, tornado, chemical release,…) Or a predictable major event (Olympics, harvest fest, concert, sporting event,…) They may evolve from a set of circumstances or events that do not rise to the level of a catastrophic trigger individually, but that will evolve into a catastrophic event. Events occur and before you know you are in a disaster you must make decisions that will have a critical impact on your ability to control the catastrophic consequences of the event. For example, clinical discovery of common symptoms related to smallpox but lab confirmation will not be available for several days; meanwhile, the media has already run a story an d more are coming. The “worried well” are beginning to call for inoculations and emergency rooms are filling. What do you do? We may also have a series of interrelated cascading events such as power blackouts that trigger numerous other outages. or floods how do you control public panic and get ahead of the crisis?
  7. These are some of the common characteristics of major events.
  8. In Utica, a collapsed 150 year old tavern had created a life-and-death situation… Media interest was high, but not extraordinary for this type of disaster… Are you prepared to make critical executive decisions and deal with this level of media interest? How will you help your responders identify and obtain the critical resources they to conduct operations? How will you focus all of the arriving resources and assistance on the problems at Hand? The National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) can help.
  9. Note span and control, it is very important to stay around 5… Discuss ODOT deployments.
  10. Incident Command System (ICS).  NIMS establishes ICS as a standard incident management organization with five functional areas -- command, operations, planning, logistics, and finance/administration -- for management of all major incidents.   To ensure further coordination, and during incidents involving multiple jurisdictions or agencies, the principle of unified command has been universally incorporated into NIMS. This unified command not only coordinates the efforts of many jurisdictions, but provides for and assures joint decisions on objectives, strategies, plans, priorities, and public communications. Communications and Information Management.   Standardized communications during an incident are essential and NIMS prescribes interoperable communications systems for both incident and information management.  Responders and managers across all agencies and jurisdictions must have a common operating picture for a more efficient and effective incident response. Preparedness.  Preparedness incorporates a range of measures, actions, and processes accomplished before an incident happens.  NIMS preparedness measures including planning, training, exercises, qualification and certification, equipment acquisition and certification, and publication management.  All of these serve to ensure that pre-incident actions are standardized and consistent with mutually-agreed doctrine.  NIMS further places emphasis on mitigation activities to enhance preparedness.  Mitigation includes public education and outreach, structural modifications to lessen the loss of life or destruction of property, code enforcement in support of zoning rules, land management, and building codes, and flood insurance and property buy-out for frequently flooded areas.   Joint Information System (JIS).   NIMS organizational measures enhance the public communication effort.  The Joint Information System provides the public with timely and accurate incident information and unified public messages.  This system employs Joint Information Centers (JIC) and brings incident communicators together during an incident to develop, coordinate, and deliver a unified message.  This will ensure that Federal, state, and local levels of government are releasing the same information during an incident. NIMS Integration Center (NIC).   To ensure that NIMS remains an accurate and effective management tool, the NIMS NIC will be established by the Secretary of Homeland Security to assess proposed changes to NIMS, capture, and evaluate lessons learned, and employ best practices.  The NIC will provide strategic direction and oversight of the NIMS, supporting both routine maintenance and continuous refinement of the system and its components over the long term.  The NIC will develop and facilitate 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.  The NIC will continue to use the collaborative process of Federal, state, tribal, local, multi-discipline and private authorities to assess prospective changes and assure continuity and accuracy.   ### Home   ·   FAQs   ·   Contact Us   ·
