NIMS ICS Guide: A Comprehensive and Essential Incident Command System Tool
The NIMS ICS Guide is a highly valuable and essential pocket reference for first responders and public safety professionals. Originally introduced in 2006, it was the first of its kind to provide fast access to information needed for effective incident command. Now updated with the National Response Framework (NRF), this interactive application is available for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
With the NIMS ICS Guide, users can customize contact information for each incident, enabling rapid on-scene communication. The app also includes detailed dynamic checklists to ensure that no detail is missed. The content is all-hazards, non-jurisdictional, and discipline-specific, providing responsibilities and rules for applying the Incident Command System (ICS).
In addition to its usefulness as a field tool, the NIMS ICS Guide is ideal for NIMS/ICS training and functional exercises. It offers dozens of detailed illustrations, charts, and checklists, making it a comprehensive resource for responders at all levels. Whether you're in the local, state, federal, or private industry, this app will quickly become your go-to NIMS training and field decision-support tool.
