<br />9. NIMS COMPLIANCE
<br />a. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) identifies concepts and principles that answer
<br />how to manage emergencies from preparedness to recovery regardless of their cause, size,
<br />location, or complexity. NIMS provides a consistent, nationwide approach and vocabulary for
<br />multiple agencies or jurisdictions to work together to build, sustain, and deliver the core
<br />capabilities needed to achieve a secure and resilient nation.
<br />b. Consistent implementation of NIMS provides a solid foundation across jurisdictions and
<br />disciplines to ensure effective and integrated preparedness, planning, and response. NIMS
<br />empowers the components of the National Preparedness System, a requirement of Presidential
<br />Policy Directive 8, to guide activities within the public and private sector and describes the
<br />planning, organizational activities, equipping, training, and exercising needed to build and sustain
<br />the core capabilities in support of the National Preparedness Goal.
<br />c. In order to receive FY 2020 federal preparedness funding, to include 20HSGP, the Subrecipient
<br />will ensure all NIMS objectives have been initiated and/or are in progress toward completion.
