FY 2006 and 2007 NIMS Training
Requirements
Overview
Training is one of the important elements that state,
territorial, tribal, and local
entities must complete during the FY 2006 (October 1, 2005 –
September 30, 2006) to become fully compliant with the NIMS.
Jurisdictions will be required to meet the FY 2006 NIMS
implementation requirements as a condition of receiving federal
preparedness funding assistance in FY 2007.
It is important to recognize that NIMS implementation will not
end in FY 2006. The NIMS is a dynamic system, and the doctrine
as well as the implementation requirements will continue to
evolve as our prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery
capabilities improve and our homeland security landscape
changes. Further, new personnel will continue to need NIMS
training, and NIMS processes will still have to be exercised in
future years.
The successful implementation of the NIMS depends on the
participation and integration of all state, territorial and
community-based organizations, including public,
non-governmental, and private organizations that may have a role
in preventing, preparing for, responding to, or recovering from
an incident. States, territories, tribes and local jurisdictions
should therefore consider and include appropriate organizations
in their NIMS implementation efforts, including private sector
emergency medical and hospital providers, transportation
systems, utilities, and special facilities such as industrial
plants, nuclear power plants, factories, military facilities,
stadiums and arenas. 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.
Who should take IS-200 in FY 2006?
All Federal, State, territorial, tribal, private sector and
non-governmental personnel at the entry level, first line
