In Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 5, Management of Domestic Incidents, the President directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop, submit for review to the Homeland Security Council, and administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS). This system would provide a consistent Nationwide approach for Federal, State, local, and tribal governments to work effectively and efficiently together to prepare for, prevent, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity.

Lake County responders are encouraged to use the following table and links to identify the training that responders and employees should receive that is relevant to the NIMS implementation.
