US Guidelines for All-Hazards Incident Response: National Framework & Management, Lecture notes of Engineering

The National Response Framework (NRF) and National Incident Management System (NIMS) are essential documents that outline how the US conducts all-hazards incident response. The NRF guides the nation through the process of saving lives, protecting property and the environment, stabilizing incidents, and providing for basic human needs. NIMS provides a consistent approach for all levels of government to prepare for and respond to domestic incidents, with a focus on scalable, flexible, and adaptable operational capabilities and unity of effort through Unified Command.
