FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None. .
DESCRIPTION: The President of the United States, in Homeland Security
Presidential Directive (HSPD) 5, directed the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to
develop and administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS), which would provide a
consistent nationwide approach for federal, state, local, and tribal governments to work together more
effectively and efficiently to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters regardless of
cause, size, or complexity.
On March 1,2004, the Secretary of Homeland Security, through HSPD 5, released NIMS. NIMS is a
comprehensive system that improves governments' disaster response operations through the use of the
Incident Command System (ICS) and the application of standardized procedures, preparedness measures,
and protocols. NIMS promotes the development of cross-jurisdictional, statewide, interstate, and regional
mechanisms for coordinating emergency response and obtaining assistance during large-scale or complex
incidents. Simply, the Department of Homeland Security created NIMS to provide a national approach to
incident management applicable at all jurisdictional levels and across f1.mctional disciplines.
The federal government has adopted NIMS and requires that all federal agencies integrate its principles,
practices, and protocols into their emergency management systems. Along with its adoption, the federal
government is requiring that all state, local, and tribal governments adopt the program as well. The

penalty for not doing so is the federal government will not reimburse the City for losses resulting from a
disaster or issue the City federal disaster grant money. In a correspondence dated March 28, 2006
(Attachment 2), the State of California laid out compliance activities for the current federal fiscal year. As
such, Staff has sought to execute the activities that will bring the City into compliance with NIMS.
Meeting the compliance requirements ofHSPD 5 will maintain the City of Dublin's eligibility for future
disaster reimbursement and federal preparedness grant opportunities. All applicants for federal grant
funding and disaster reimbursement funds will be required to certify as part of the application process that
they have met the NIMS requirements. The date September 30,2006, the end of the current Federal Fiscal
Year, has been set aside for the accomplishment of this task.
Fortunately for governmental entities within California, the NIMS system is much the same as the
Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS), but there are a few differences. As a result, there
are not too many significant actions that the City will need to take to come into compliance with NIMS.
Specifically, there are two issues that need to be addressed: documented training for disaster response
personnel, and a formal adoption ofNIMS through executive order, proclamation, resolution or
legislation. As far as training is concerned, dates have been set aside in the month of September to train
City personnel as required. The completion ofthese activities will bring the City of Dublin into
compliance with the NIMS requirements.

Subject: National Incident Management System
The purpose of this letter is to provide an update on the National Incident Management
System (NIMS). Pursuant to Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) -5, "Management of
Domestic Incidents," the federal Department of Home Land Security (DHS) developed NIMS.
Compliance with NIMS is a prerequisite to receiving federal preparedness grant funds, including
funds provided under the Homeland Security Grant Program and Urban Area Security Initiative.
California's Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) served as a model for the federal
government in their development ofNIMS and, as such, we are already compliant with many NIMS
requirements.
The Governor's Office of Emergency Services (OES) is responsible for coordinating arid
monitoring the overall statewide integration ofNIMS into SEMS. California is addressing NIMS
requirements through the SEMS Maintenance System as set forth in Governor's Executive Order S-2-
05 (enclosure 1). This system provides a vehicle for addressing NIMS implementation through its
cross-jurisdictional and cross-disciplinary structure of the Advisory Board, Technical Group,
Specialist Committees, and Mutual Aid Regional Advisory Committees.
Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2006 is the first year that DHS has set forth NIMS requirements for
local government. OES, together with the SEMS Maintenance System committees, is developing
guidance materials to assist local government in meeting the FFY 2006 NIMS requirements
(enclosure 2). Beginning in May, OES will sponsor workshops throughout the state and provide
technical assistance, as needed. Many documents have already been developed including a sample
local resolution adopting NIMS (enclosure 3). You can find additional SEMS/NIMS information
posted on the OES website at www.oes.ca.gov. Our regional offices will continue to work with local
government on this issue. For your convenience, we have enclosed a regional map with contact
information (enclosure 4).
I want to express my appreciation and support for the efforts of local government, particularly
the emergency management staff, in ensuring NIMS compliance for their respective jurisdictions.
Collectively, we have made significant progress and continue to work with our federal counterparts to
ensure California's NIMS implementation.
Sincerely,

Enclosure 2
TRIBAL GOVERNMENT AND LOCAL JURISDICTION COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES:
FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2006 (OCTOBER I, 200S-SEPTEMBER 30, 2006)
In March 2004, the Secretary of Homeland Security, at the request of the President, released the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
The NIMS is a comprehensive system that improves tribal and local response operations through the use of the Incident Command System (ICS)
and the application of standardized procedures and preparedness measures. It promotes development of cross-jurisdictional, statewide, and
interstate regional mechanisms for coordinating response and obtaining assistance during a large-scale or complex incident.
Tribal and local authorities, not federal, have the primary responsibility for preventing, responding to, and recovering from emergencies and
disasters. The overwhelming majority of emergency incidents are handled on a daily basis by a single jurisdiction at the local level. It is critically
important that all jurisdictions comply with the NIMS because the challenges we face as a nation are far greater than the capabilities of anyone
jurisdiction; they are not, however, greater than the sum of all of us working together through mutual support. Homeland Security Presidential
Directive 5 (HSPD- 5), Management of Domestic Incidents, requires all federal departments and agencies to adopt and implement the NIMS, and
requires state1 and local2 jurisdictions to implement the NIMS to receive federal preparedness funding.
NIMS compliance should be considered and undertaken as a community-wide effort. The benefit of NIMS is most evident at the local level, when
a community as a whole prepares for and prOVides an integrated response to an incident. Incident response organizations (to include local public
health, publiC works, emergency management, fire, emergency medical services, law enforcement, hazardous materials, private sector entities,
non-governmental organizations, medical organizations, utilities, and others) must work together to comply with NIMS components, policies, and
procedures. Implementation of the NIMS in every tribal and local jurisdiction establishes a baseline capability that once established nationwide,
can be used as a foundation upon which more advanced homeland security capabilities can be built.
Small and/or rural jurisdictions will benefit from a regional approach. In many instances smaller communities may not have the resources to
implement all elements of NIMS on their own. However, by working together with other localities in their regions, these jurisdictions will be able
to pool their resources to implement NIMS.
When NIMS .is fully implemented, your local community or jurisdiction will be able to:
· Ensure common and proven incident management doctrine, practices, and principles are used to plan for, protect against, respond to, and
recover from emergency incidents and preplanned events;
I As defined in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the term "State" means any State of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam,
American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and any possession of the United States." 6 U.S.c. 101 (14)
2 As defined in the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Section 2(10): the term "local government" means "(A) county, municipality, city, town, township, local public authority,
school district, special district, intrastate district, council of governments... regional or interstate government entity, or agency or instrumentality of a local government: an Indian
tribe or authorized tribal organization, or in Alaska a Native village or Alaska Regional Native Corporation; and a rural community, unincorporated town or village, or other public
entity." 6 U.S.C. 101(10)

· Maintain a response operation capable of expanding to meet an escalating situation and the ability to integrate resources and equipment
from intrastate and interstate mutual aid agreements, state-provided assistance, and federal government response;
· Order and track response assets using common resource typing and definitions, and draw on mutual aid agreements for additional
assistance;
· Establish staging and allocation plans for the re-distribution of equipment, supplies, and aid coming into the area from other localities,
states, or the federal government through mutual aid agreements;
· Conduct situational assessments and establish the appropriate ICS organizational structure to effectively manage the incident; and
· Establish communication processes, procedures and protocols that will ensure effective interoperable communications among emergency
responders, 9-1-1 centers, and multi-agency coordination systems (Emergency Operations Centers).
In federal Fiscal Year 2005, the Secretary of Homeland Security provided guidance to each state, outlining initial actions that should be taken to
implement the NIMS. The letter to the nation's governors included a list of recommended actions for tribal and local governments to help them
work towards NIMS compliance. A copy of this letter is posted on the NIMS webpage at: http://www.fema.gov/nims/nims_compliance.shtm.
Recommended FY 2005 NIMS activities included:
· Institutionalize the use of the Incident Command System;
. Complete the NIMS awareness course 15-700 NIMS: An Introduction;
. Formally recognize NIMS and adopt NIMS principles and policies;
· Establish a NIMS compliance baseline by determining the NIMS requirements that have already been met; and
. Develop a strategy and timeline for full NIMS implementation.
By completing these activities, communities will have made substantial progress toward full NIMS implementation by the start of Fiscal Year 2007
(i.e. October 1, 2006). In federal Fiscal Year 2006, tribes and local communities will be required to complete several activities to comply with the
NIMS. The attached implementation matrix describes the actions that jurisdictions must take by September 30, 2006 to be compliant with NIMS.
Completion 0f these actions will position tribal and local communities to better manage prevention, response and recovery efforts. The matrix
identifies activities that are underway by the NIMS Integration Center (NIC) to support the effective implementation of NIMS as well as activities
that will be required for NIMS implementation in future years.
The matrix also provides information on where to find technical assistance resources to support these compliance actions. For example, the
National Incident Management Capability Assessment Support Tool (NIMCAST) is an example of a product designed to assist communities in
determining their current NIMS compliance baseline. The NIMS is much more than just a list of required elements; it is a new approach to the
way we prepare for and manage incidents, one that will lead to a more effective utilization of resources and enhanced prevention, preparedness,
and response capabilities. Moreover, full NIMS implementation is a dynamic and multi-year phase-in process with important linkages to the
National Response Plan (NRP), the Homeland Security Presidential Directive - 8 (i.e. the "National Preparedness Goal'') and the National
Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). Future refinement to the NIMS will evolve as policy and technical issues are further developed and clarified
at the national level. This may well result in additional requirements being issued by the NIC as to what will constitute continuous full NIMS
compliance in FY2007 and beyond.
