<br />ii. Institutionalize the use of the Incident Command System (ICS) <br />throughout all departments playing a role in <br />emergency/disaster response. <br /> <br />iii. Establish a NIMS baseline by determining which NIMS <br />requirements are already meet: Complete a NIMCAST (NIMS <br />Capabilities Assessment) Self-Assessment (On-line) <br /> <br />iv. Establish a timeframe and develop a strategy for full NIMS <br />implementation: Develop a strategy which, when <br />implemented, will provide full NIMS compliance and <br />implementation by FY2007 <br /> <br />v. Complete NIMS Awareness Course: "National Incident <br />Management System (NIMS), An Introduction" (IS 700). <br />Employees and volunteers who play any role in <br />emergency/disaster response will complete this base-line <br />training. <br /> <br />7) Additional Requirements (Before October 1, 2006) <br /> <br />a. The following four phases explain the approach to meet the <br />immediate and additional requirements for full NIMS implementation <br />by October 1, 2006. <br /> <br />i. Phase 1: Initial staff training, which will include completion of <br />FEMA's Emergency Management Institute independent study <br />course on the NIMS, EMIIS-700. All supervisors with <br />responsibility over operational assets will be accountable for <br />ensuring that all employees with an emergency/disaster <br />responsibility are fully trained in the NIMS. <br /> <br />ii. Phase 2: Includes identification and evaluation of existing <br />plans, policies, and procedures to identify aspects in need of <br />augmentation for NIMS compliance. In particular, Emergency <br />Operations Plans (EOPs) must be evaluated for NIMS <br />incorporation. <br /> <br />iii. Phase 3: Modification of existing plans, procedures, and <br />policies to reflect NIMS adoption. This includes modification <br />of any emergency response plans in support of the NRP and <br />any internal emergency plans such as COOP Plans. <br /> <br />23 <br />
