IN RE: COUNTY EXECUTIVE/EMERGENCY RESPONSE & PREPAREDNESS AND
OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF — ADOPTION OF THE NATIONAL INCIDENT
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the President in Homeland Security 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, and local governments to work together more effectively
and efficiently to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from domestic incidents,
regardless of cause, size or complexity; and
WHEREAS the collective input and guidance from all Federal, State, and local
homeland security partners has been, and will continue to be, vital to the development,
effective implementation and utilization of a comprehensive NIMS; and
WHEREAS it is necessary and desirable that all Federal, State, and local
emergency agencies and personnel coordinate their efforts to effectively and efficiently
provide the highest levels of incident management; and
WHEREAS to facilitate the most efficient and effective incident management it is
critical that Federal, State, and local organizations utilize standardized terminology,
standardized organizational structures, interoperable communications, consolidated
action plans, unified command structures, uniform personnel qualification standards,
uniform standards for planning, training, and exercising, comprehensive resource
management, and designated incident facilities during emergencies or disasters; and
WHEREAS the NIMS standardized procedures for managing personnel,
communications, facilities and resources will improve the county's ability to utilize federal
funding to enhance local agency readiness, maintain first responder safety, and
streamline incident management processes; and
WHEREAS the Incident Command System components of NIMS are already an
integral part of various county incident management activities, including current
emergency management training programs; and
WHEREAS the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks (9-11 Commission)
recommended adoption of a standardized Incident Command System.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners establishes the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the
County standard for incident management.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move the adoption of
the foregoing resolution.
