NIMS specifies how Federal and interstate mutual aid resources will be allocated among jurisdictions. C. NIMS is applicable across the full spectrum of potential incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity. D. NIMS integrates best practices into a comprehensive, standardized framework.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is the letter B

Explanation:

Homeland Security described the NIMC (National Incident Management System) as a comprehensive, national approach to incident management that is applicable in all jurisdiction levels. As letter “A” states, the NIMC does provide a consistent approach to all jurisdiction levels such as local, tribe, State, Federal and emergency managers responders; they work together to prepare, prevent, respond, recover and mitigate from incidents. As letter “C” states, the NIMC is applicable across the full spectrum of potential incidents, hazards, and impacts regardless of the size, location and complexity. As letter “D” states, the NIMC does provide it practices through a standardized framework, providing a template, structure and mechanism for the management of incidents; creating capabilities and resources that are cohesive and coordinated for a domestic incident response. Now when it comes to the letter “B” the NIMS does not specify how Federal and interstate mutual aid resources will be allocated among jurisdictions. Homeland Security stated that the NIMS does not take command away from State and local authorities; the NIMS simply provides the framework to enhance the ability of respond, so they can work together more effectively.
