the President of the United States of America issued Homeland Security Presidential
Directive 5 to enhance the ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents by
establishing a single, comprehensive national incident management system; and
the President, in Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5, tasked the secretary of
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to develop and administer a National
Incident Management System; and
the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security developed and
administered the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to provide for
interoperability and compatibility among federal, state, and local capabilities, the NIMS
will include: a core set of concepts, principles, terminology, and technologies covering
the incident command system; multi-agency coordination systems; unified command;
training; identification and management of resources (including systems for classifying
types of resources); qualifications, and certification; and the collection, tracking, and
reporting of incident information and incident resources; and
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty issued Executive Order 05-02: DESIGNATION OF
THE NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (NIMS) AS THE BASIS FOR
ALL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA; and
the collective input and guidance from all federal, state, local, and tribal homeland
security partners has been, and will continue to be, vital to the development, effective
implementation, and utilization of a comprehensive NIMS; and
it is necessary and desirable that all agencies and personnel coordinate their efforts to
effectively and efficiently provide the highest levels of incident management; and
the NIMS standardized procedures for managing personnel, communications,
facilities, and resources will improve the ability of Prior Lake to utilize federal funding to
enhance local and state agency readiness, maintain first responder safety, and
streamline incident management processes; and
the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks (9-11 Commission) recommended
adoption of a standardized Incident Command System.
