Question

Which NIMS communication principle ensures that communications and information systems can be expanded to support any situation, allows incident personnel to participate in an incident outside their jurisdiction, and allows personnel to still use familiar equipment?

A. Security

B. Interoperability

C. Reliability, Scalability, and Portability

D. Resilience and Redundancy

Answer 1

C. Reliability, Scalability, and Portability

Step-by-step explanation:

The National Information Management System approved principle for communication and information in the event of an incident stipulates that the reliability, scalability, and portability are criteria that must be met for a standard communication system.

• Reliability implies that users must be able to depend on these information systems in the event of any incident.

• Scalability implies that the reach and strength of these communication channels can be stretched to accommodate any incident.

• Portability implies that a standard should be put in place so that personnel can respond to incidents no matter their jurisdiction.
