The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a standardized approach to incident management defined by the US Department of Homeland Security in response to the 9/11 attacks. Core tenets of the approach include the use of the Incident Command Structure, common terminology, and 'typing' for resources.
Common Pain Points
- Manual notifications are not 24 x 7 x 365.
- Manual notification to incident stakeholders is tedious and time-consuming.
- Missed or delayed notifications can lead to missed or delayed response at an incident site.
- Paper incident reports are hard to share to provide situational awareness and track through the incident.
