What is a basic premise of the National Incident Management System and national response framework?

NIMS (National Incident Management System) is a National Approach to develop an incident management framework for any type of hazard, event, size and complexity that can be used by any jurisdiction in the United States or any organization for that matter. The National Response Framework is the National Strategy guiding all jurisdictions and sectors towards a level of preparedness for disasters that occur within the United States. All of this aids in a successful Whole Community approach to emergency management and the National Preparedness Goal.
