The National Incident Management System (NIMS) provides a systematic, proactive approach to guide departments and agencies at all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to work seamlessly to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity, in order to reduce the loss of life and property and harm to the environment.

NIMS works hand in hand with the National Response Framework (NRF). NIMS provides the template for the management of incidents, while the NRF provides the structure and mechanisms for national-level policy for incident management.

A Local/Tribal Incident Management Team (LTIMT) is a functional, multi-disciplinary and/or multi-jurisdictional group assembled for the purpose of completing and/or enhancing the incident command system at the local, regional or tribal response level. The team can also be used for large-scale events that require pre-planning.
