National Incident Management System (NIMS)
Pursuant to Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5), beginning in FY05, adoption of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) will be a requirement for receipt of federal preparedness funds, including grants, contracts and other activities.
