Flexibility - Allows NIMS to be scalable from routine, local incidents through those
requiring interstate mutual aid up to those requiring Federal assistance

Standard Organizational Structures - Improve integration and connectivity among
organizations
Standard Practices - Allow incident personnel and organizations to work together
effectively
Common Terminology - Enables effective communication

3 Major Components of NIMS - 1. Resource Management
2. Command and Coordination
3. Communications and Information Management
Resource Management - Standard mechanisms to systematics manage resources,
including personnel, equipment, supplies, teams, and facilities, both before and during
incidents in order to allow organizations to more effectively share resources when
needed

recommended organizational structures for incident management at the operational and
incident support levels and explains how these structures interact to manage incidents
effectively and efficiently
Communications and Information Management - Describes systems and methods that
help to ensure that incident personnel and other decision makers have the means and
