National Incident Management System (NIMS)

The City of Dillingham established the National Interagency Incident Management System (more commonly referred to as NIMS) as its standard for incident command. 

NIMS provides a consistent nationwide approach for Federal, State, Local, and Tribal Governments to work together more effectively and efficiently to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexiity.
