Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management issued the following announcement on February 26.
#FridayFacts: The National Incident Management System (NIMS) was established by FEMA and includes the Incident Command System (ICS). NIMS is used as the standard for emergency management by all public agencies in the United States for both planned and emergency events.
When an incident occurs, incident stabilization activities (e.g. firefighting, damage assessment, property conservation) may be underway at the scene of the incident. Others assigned to support a variety of incident activities will report to an emergency operations center (EOC).
For more information on how ICS is used check out
FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency or Ohio Emergency Management Agency. For more on how Cuyahoga County
uses ICS or on our EOC please visit
