The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a comprehensive system for managing domestic incidents and local emergencies. NIMS is part of the National Preparedness System and provides a flexible way for agencies to collaborate across disciplines and levels of government. When used across all local incident response agencies, NIMS can create a common operating picture that promotes more efficient and effective response services. For example, in the event of a large-scale incident, NIMS can unite response teams across jurisdictions and facilitate assistance from other communities.

Thomas Morales, Police Chief, San Jose/Evergreen Community College DistrictNIMS Emergency Operations Plans (EOP's) for government and “Special District's” establish an emergency management organization to provide a basis for the jurisdiction's coordinated actions before, during, and after a disaster. The primary purpose of the EOP is to outline the jurisdiction's all-hazard approach to emergency operations to protect the safety, health, and welfare of communities.
