The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a standardized framework used in the United States to manage emergencies and incidents effectively. It provides guidelines for coordinating response efforts among various agencies and organizations, ensuring a unified approach to disaster management. NIMS is essential for improving communication and collaboration during incidents, whether they are natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or public health emergencies. NIMS incorporates best practices from the field of emergency management and is designed to be flexible and scalable. It includes components such as the Incident Command System (ICS), which helps organize response teams, and the Multi-Agency Coordination (MAC) system, which facilitates cooperation among different entities.
