NIMS/ICS Training Requirements National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command Systems (ICS) The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is one of two methods by which the US government responds to emergencies and disasters. NIMS is not to be confused with the Incident Command System (ICS). NIMS employs ICS when a disaster strikes.
Originally issued on March 1, 2004, by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), NIMS provides a consistent nationwide template to enable Federal, State, tribal, and local governments, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to work together to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity.
