HSPD-5 directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS provides a consistent nationwide template to enable all government, private-sector, and nongovernmental organizations to work together during domestic incidents. Federal law mandates that all government decision makers and first responders must take this course. You can also find information about NIMS at  HYPERLINK "http://www.fema.gov/nims/" http://www.fema.gov/nims/ The following information was received from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency: The following 10 required disciplines must complete the NIMS Awareness course: National Incident Management System (NIMS), an introductionФ (IS 700). This independent study course, developed by the Emergency Management Institute, explains the purpose, principles, key components and benefits of NIMS. Further, by FY 2007, federal preparedness assistance will be conditioned by full compliance with the NIMS. This means that federal grant money is conditioned on the fulfillment of this requirement. The 10 disciplines are Law Enforcement, Fire Services, Emergency Medical Services, Emergency Management, Health Care, hazardous materials, Public Safety Communication, Public Health, Public Works, Government Administrative. After talking to MEMA, it was determined that the following County Agencies/Personnel are required to take this course: County Manager SheriffТs Department Communications Center Airport manager Airport Firefighters County Emergency management Dir4ector & Staff Search & Rescue Director & selected staff County Health & Environment Director County Executive secretary County Treasurer A short NIMS briefing should be given to the County Commissioners. At this time, Dukes County has completed the training of the Emergency Management Director & Staff. One of our staff is qualified to teach this class. I will call each of you to invite you to take this training and to set up a date for the training.
