43	43	''Emergency management and incident response activities rely on communications and information systems that provide a common operating picture to all command and coordination sites. NIMS describes the requirements necessary for a standardized framework for communications and emphasizes the need for a '''common operating picture'''. This component is based on the concepts of '''interoperability''', '''reliability''', '''scalability''', and '''portability''', as well as the resiliency and '''redundancy''' of communications and information systems.''

	45	Common operating picture including the '''availability and location of resources''' and the '''status of assistance requests'''.
45	46	==== Resource Management ====
46	47	''Resources (such as '''personnel''', '''equipment''', ''or'' '''supplies''') are needed to support critical incident objectives. The flow of resources must be fluid and adaptable to the requirements of the incident. NIMS defines standardized mechanisms and establishes the resource management process to '''identify requirements''', '''order and acquire''', '''mobilize''', '''track and report''', '''recover and demobilize''', '''reimburse''', and '''inventory''' resources.''
