Which of the Following Correctly Describes NIMS?

A. A response plan.
 

B. A communications plan.
 

C. A systematic approach to incident management.
 

D. A static system used during large-scale incidents.
 

Answer - C. A systematic approach to incident management.

Explanation - The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a systemic approach that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed for managing incidents. It offers a consistent framework across the nation that all federal, statewide, tribal, and local agencies and the private as well as non-governmental sectors, can follow when dealing with emergencies and disasters. NIMS is not a plan or a communications strategy but a whole array of practices that range from command structures such as the Incident Command System to resource management, coordination, and communications protocols. It secures the notion that all the responders have an identical framework for operating with, no matter what the nature of the incident. NIMS is not a static system but is flexible and scalable. It is used for small as well as large incidents. It is intended to facilitate better coordination and mutual assistance, increased efficiency, and minimized loss of lives and property when responding in an emergency. Therefore, option C most suitably defines NIMS.
