==== Preparedness ====
''Effective emergency management and incident response activities begin with a host of preparedness activities conducted on an ongoing basis, in advance of any potential incident. Preparedness involves an integrated combination of '''assessment'''; '''planning'''; '''procedures and protocols'''; '''training and exercises'''; '''personnel qualifications''', licensure, and certification; equipment certification; and evaluation and revision.''
===== Procedural Documents =====
 * Standard Operating Procedure or Operations Manual
''Complete reference document that provides the purpose, authorities, duration, and details for the preferred method of performing a single function or a number of interrelated functions in a uniform manner.''
 * Field Operations Guide or Incident Management Handbook
''Durable pocket or desk guide that contains essential information required to perform specific assignments or functions.''
 * Mobilization Guide
''Reference document used by agencies/organizations outlining agreements, processes, and procedures used by all participating organizations for activating, assembling, and transporting resources.''
 * Job Aid 
''Checklist or other visual aid intended to ensure that specific steps for completing a task or assignment are accomplished. Job aids serve as training aids to teach individuals how to complete specific job tasks.''
===== Personnel Qualifications =====
Not just Certification, but also Medical Fitness

==== Communications and Information Management ====
''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.''

==== Resource Management ====
''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.''

==== Command and Management ====
''The Command and Management component of NIMS is designed to enable effective and efficient incident management and coordination by providing a flexible, standardized incident management structure. The structure is based on three key organizational constructs: the '''Incident Command System''', '''Multiagency Coordination Systems''', and '''Public Information'''.''
