National Incident Management System (NIMS)   In 2005, the District of Columbia formally adopted the National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS is a comprehensive national approach to incident management, applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across functional disciplines. NIMS will improve the effectiveness of emergency response providers and incident management organizations across a full spectrum of potential incidents and hazard scenarios.   For more information about NIMS compliance, see The Ten Disciplines that Must Comply With NIMS*.   General Information* NIMS Components* NIMS Executive Order* State Point of Contact* Summary of 2006 Requirements* Additional Information* Frequently Asked Questions Training Curriculum Guidance* HSPD-5* HSPD-8* 2007 Information NIMS Compliance Metrics: State/Territory* NIMS Compliance Metrics Fact Sheet* NIMS Implementation Matrix for States and Territories* October 23, 2006 FEMA Letter to Governors*     Local NIMS Integration*        DCEMA NIMS Implementation Plan*   National Incident Management System*
