2008 NIMS Compliance Objectives now available in NIMSCAST
The National Integration Center (NIC) Incident Management Systems Integration Division has completed its integration
of the 2008 NIMS Compliance Objectives into the NIMS Compliance
Assistance Support Tool (NIMSCAST).
The support functions of the NIMSCAST have been reviewed and greatly enhanced
based on the feedback we have received since the tool was first launched
in January, 2005. Please let us know (via Questions/Comments link) if there are features
that are not working for your purposes, or if there are additional features
or reports that would assist you in implementing the NIMS nationwide.
All established accounts, user permissions and/or rolled-up assessments that
were previously entered in the NIMSCAST have been maintained.
As of June 20, 2008 the NIMSCAST will no longer be collecting responses to the 2005-2006 NIMCAST assessments, data entered
into the system will still be available for review via the reporting functions. Access to the ability to change 2007
NIMSCAST data will also be restricted on a State by State basis.
