The document discusses the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and its role in coordinating response to mass casualty incidents. NIMS was created to provide a unified approach for managing large-scale emergencies involving multiple jurisdictions. It establishes standardized command structures under the Incident Command System (ICS). The ICS directs response operations and organizes responders into functional sections. For mass casualty incidents, the ICS oversees all response aspects including triage, treatment and transportation of patients. First responders are trained in their roles within the ICS to effectively manage resources during large-scale emergencies.
