NIMS: Command

Command: The act of directing, ordering, or controlling by virtue of explicit statutory, regulatory, or delegated authority.

Who has the explicit authority for the

management of all incident operations?

Visual 4.5


Coordination

Multiagency coordination is a process that allows all levels of government and all disciplines to work together more efficiently and effectively.

Visual 4.6


What Is a Multiagency Coordination System?

MAC Systems provide the architecture to support coordination for:

Incident prioritization.

Critical resource allocation.

Communications systems integration.

Information coordination.

From Simple to ComplexMAC Systems:

May be as simple as a teleconference.

May require an assembled group and associated support systems.

Operational Priorities ReviewOperational priorities involve minimizing the impact of an incident. These priorities include:

Life safety.

Incident stabilization.

Property/environmental conservation.

Visual 4.12


EOC Purpose

. . . to provide a central location where government at any level can provide interagency coordination and executive decisionmaking in support of the incident response.

EOC Benefits Helps establish a common

operating picture.

Simplifies information verification.

Facilitates long-term operations.

Increases continuity.

Provides ready access to all available information.

Aids resource identification and use.

Visual 4.14


EOC FunctionsAn EOC should be able to perform the following functions:

Coordination

Communications

Resource dispatching and tracking

Information collection, analysis, and dissemination

Visual 4.15


Managing Public InformationThe Public Information Officer (PIO):

Represents and advises the Incident Command.

Manages on-scene media and public inquiries.

The Joint Information Center (JIC) is a physical location used to coordinate:

Critical emergency information.

Crisis communications.

Public affairs functions.

Visual 4.16


Speaking With One VoiceThe Joint Information System (JIS):

Is the framework for organizing, integrating, and coordinating the delivery of understandable, timely, accurate, and consistent public information.

Encompasses all public information operations (i.e., local, tribal, State, Federal, and private sector) related to an incident.

Unit Summary A MAC System provides the architecture to support

coordination for incident prioritization, critical resource allocation, communications systems integration, and information coordination.

The EOC is the physical location where MAC System actions can be taken to:

Establish policies to protect the population and property.

Support the on-scene Incident Command with information and resources.

Plan for the community’s return to normalcy.
