The "National Incident Management System (NIMS) Guide for County Officials" was produced by the National Association of Counties Research
Foundation in cooperation with the International Association of Emergency Managers under a cooperative agreement provided by the
Department of Homeland Security.
The guide will help county officials understand what NIMS is and the role counties play in planning to prepare for and respond to emergencies of any type and of any scale.
The audience for this guide are elected officials and county agency staff who support emergency management activities, but who are not emergency response professionals. The guide is written more simplistically than professional EM and fire service staff may require.
The National Association of Counties and the International Association of Emergency Managers would like to thank the following people for
their help in reviewing the guide:
- Professional staff from the NIMS Integration Center, Washington, DC
- Michael B. Evans, Emergency Services Coordinator, Cochise County, Arizona
- Frank J. Kriz, CEM, Program Coordinator, Arizona Division of Emergency Management
- Phyllis A. Mann, CEM, Emergency Management Director, Kitsap County, Washington
- Mike Selves, CEM, Director, Emergency Management & Homeland Security, Johnson County, Kansas
- M. Jerry VeHaun, CEM, Director, Emergency Services, Buncombe County, North Carolina
The National Association of Counties makes this document available in the public domain. The guide may be reproduced in whole or in part
without written permission as long as distribution remains free to recipients.
