NIMS ICS Emerg Responders FOG

This Field Operations Guide contains voluntary guidance and is designed to assist emergency response personnel in the use of the NIMS Incident Command System (ICS) during incident operations.

This guide is intended for use when implementing ICS in response to an incident, regardless of type, size, or location. It does not replace emergency operations plans, laws, regulations, and ordinances. Rather, this guide provides guidance for assigned
incident personnel.

This guide follows the guidelines set out by NIMS for the use of plain language and clear text; therefore, the guide contains few acronyms.
