Section 4 <br />DIRECTION AND CONTROL <br />This section describes the systems used in Cabarrus County to facilitate direction and control <br />operations. Cabarrus County adheres to the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and <br />Incident Command System (ICS). Additionally, County emergency operations missions <br />(functions and tasks) are linked to a corresponding Emergency Support Function (ESF) identified <br />in the National Response Framework (NRF). Annex A – Direction and Control provides a <br />detailed description of emergency direction and control for Cabarrus County. <br />4.1 National Incident Management System <br />NIMS provides a systematic, proactive approach to guide departments and agencies at all <br />government levels, in nongovernmental organizations, and in the private sector to work <br />seamlessly to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of <br />incidents—regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity—in order to reduce the loss of life <br />and property and harm to the environment. NIMS represents a core set of doctrine, concepts, <br />principles, terminology, and organizational processes that enables effective, efficient, and <br />collaborative incident management. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requires <br />emergency management personnel to possess a baseline understanding of NIMS concepts and <br />principles. <br />Five Components of NIMS <br />• Preparedness <br />• Communications and Information Management <br />• Resource Management <br />• Command and Management <br />• Ongoing Management and Maintenance <br />4.1.1 Incident Command System <br />The ICS is applicable across a wide spectrum of incidents that may differ in terms of size, scope, <br />and complexity. ICS is a standardized, on- scene, all- hazards incident management approach that: <br />• Allows for the integration of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and <br />communications operating within a common organizational structure <br />• Enables a coordinated response among various jurisdictions and functional agencies, both <br />public and private <br />• Establishes common processes for planning and managing resources <br />ICS is usually organized around five major functional areas: Command, Operations, Planning, <br />Logistics, and Finance /Administration. <br />Cabanas County EOP Basic Plan — March 2014 <br />Attachr4erlt number 1 <br />F -6 Page 174 <br />
