MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable City Commission
From: Jeff Maxim, Assistant to the City Manager
Date: September 8, 2005
Re: Adoption of the National Incident Management System (NIMS)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the National Incident Management System
(NIMS), which integrates effective practices in emergency preparedness and response into a
comprehensive national framework for incident management.
REASONS
NIMS promotes interoperability and compatibility amongst federal, state and local agencies by
establishing a core set of shared concepts,principles, terminology, and technologies. Because
agencies at all levels share this common ground,they are able to cooperate with one another to a
greater degree and respond more effectively to emergency situations. Presidential Directive—5
(HSPD-5) requires that state, territorial,tribal, and local level jurisdictions adopt NIMS.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
City staff and members of the Commission received an introduction to NIMS principles during
six training sessions held during the week of August 22, 2005.
