National Review of the Five-Year NIMS Training Plan

The National Integration Center's (NIC) Incident Management Systems Division (IMSD) has developed a Five-Year National Incident Management System (NIMS) Training Plan. The Plan establishes a common national foundation for NIMS training and qualifying emergency management/response personnel. More specifically, the Plan will guide NIMS training activities; support stakeholder training and planning; and serve as a single-source, regularly updated compilation of training within the NIMS national core curriculum.

This national review is intended to provide an opportunity for all stakeholders to comment on the Five-Year NIMS Training Plan. The review period will begin on Monday September 10, 2007 and will close on Tuesday, September 25, 2007. All comments must be submitted during this period.

A comment form will also be made available. If you would like to request a comment form, please email NIMSComments@.... While a comment form will help assure clarity and consistency, it is not a requirement. You may also submit your comments directly to the above email address.

Questions and comments on the process can also be directed to the Incident Management Systems Division FEMA-NIMS@... or 202-646-7289.
