National Incident Management System (NIMS) A comprehensive, national approach to incident
management NIMS provides the template for incident management,
regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity Applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across disciplines
Flexible to enable all responding organizations to work together.
Standardized to improve overall response and interoperability.

National Response Framework (NRF) Replaced National Response Plan in June 2008 Translates & refines key principles, roles,
responsibilities & structures for Federal, State, Local, Tribal governments as well as private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGO)
Continues an “All Hazards” approach Always in effect Reorganized several Emergency Support

The Transportation Professional’s Role in Emergency Management
Common Planning Principles Planning must be community-based, representing the
whole population and its needs Planning must include participation from all stakeholders Planning uses a logical and analytical problem-solving
process to help address the complexity and uncertainty inherent in potential hazards and threats
Planning considers all hazards and threats Planning should be flexible enough to address both
traditional and catastrophic incidents Plans must clearly identify the mission and supporting goals
(with desired results) Planning depicts the anticipated environment for action
