What are the 5 major components that make up the NIMS system approach?

The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is structured around five major components: Preparedness, which involves planning and training for emergencies; Communications and Information Management, ensuring effective information sharing; Resource Management, focusing on the efficient allocation of resources; Command and Coordination, establishing a clear chain of command and coordination among agencies; and Ongoing Management and Maintenance, which includes continuous improvement and updates to the system based on lessons learned. These components work together to enhance the nation's ability to manage incidents effectively.
