NIMS Compliance and Technical Assistance
In 2004, the Department of Homeland Security released the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as required by Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) -Management of Domestic Incidents and HSPD-8 Preparedness. HSPD-5 established and designated the National Integration Center (NIC) Incident Management Systems Division as the lead federal entity to coordinate NIMS compliance. Its primary function is to ensure that NIMS remains an accurate and effective management tool through refining and adapting compliance requirements to address ongoing preparedness needs.
To accomplish this, the Compliance and Technical Assistance Branch relies on input from Federal, State, local, tribal, multi-discipline and private sector stakeholders to assure continuity and accuracy of ongoing implementation efforts. In this collaborative role, the NIC has worked with these partners to refine and implement improvements to NIMS, including the development of performance measurement systems for State, territorial, tribal, and local governments, based on lessons learned and best practices from across the nation.
