Description:	NIMS is a comprehensive, standardized incident management system that coordinates training, preparedness, and response efforts�across all levels of jurisdiction. It is important that your agency comply with NIMS and know how to interact with FEMA and other federal response resources. We are well aware that disasters can occur at any time�from terrorist attacks to hurricanes. The National Response Plan (NRP) describes how federal assets can be provided in response to a disaster and what you can expect in terms of federal resources. You�ll learn: � How NIMS compliance should be undertaken as a community-wide effort � How public works can take a leadership role in meeting NIMS requirements � How the NRP works in conjunction with state and local response and recovery processes � Why not complying with NIMS could jeopardize your agency�s/community�s eligibility to receive federal funding
