National Incident Management System: Principles and Practice
By Hank T. Christen, Geoffrey T. Miller, Christian E., Jr. Callsen, Frank J. Cilluffo, Paul M. Maniscalco


Publisher: Jones & Bartlett Publishers
Number Of Pages: 264
Publication Date: 2005-04
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0763730793
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780763730796
Binding: Paperback


Book Description:

In March 2004, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security implemented the National Incident Management System (NIMS), the country's first-ever standardized approach to incident management and response. While thousands of local, state, and federal agencies have created individual plans to prepare for and respond to emergencies in the past, response agencies nationwide will need to become NIMS compliant in 2005.

National Incident Management System: Principles and Practice translates the goals of the original NIMS document from concepts into capabilities, and provides responders with a step-by-step process to understanding and implementing NIMS. Through the use of case studies, readers will gain valuable insight on how to effectively incorporate NIMS into their departments or jurisdictions. As responders are faced with the tasks of reforming training curricula and incorporating NIMS into Standard Operating Procedures, it is essential that they have a practical resource to guide them through the nation's homeland security strategies, as well as to assist them with NIMS implementation in their own locality.

Review:

Good enough to buy your own copy

After having hogged the university library's copy for 2 months as i worked on the methods section for my Masters thesis i decided I better buy my own. This is a very clear, practical book on how to design and carry out an interview as well as how to analyse the data you gather. I found it very useful for giving me references to describe what it was I was already doing! It doesn't hurt that the writer has a sense of humour as well
