NIMS Resource Management Guidance and Tools

In November 2017, FEMA published a series of National Incident Management System (NIMS) resources. They include: the NIMS Guideline for Mutual Aid, the NIMS Guideline for the National Qualification System (NQS), NIMS Job Titles/Position Qualifications, and NIMS Position Task Books (PTBs). FEMA also created a Resource Typing Library Tool website, where partners can find “other than NQS” Job Titles/Position Qualifications and Resource Typing Definitions.
