NIMS COMPLIANCE <br /> a. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) identifies concepts <br /> and principles that answer how to manage emergencies from <br /> preparedness to recovery regardless of their cause, size, location, or <br /> complexity. NIMS provides a consistent, nationwide approach and <br /> vocabulary for multiple agencies or jurisdictions to work together to build, <br /> sustain, and deliver the core capabilities needed to achieve a secure and <br /> resilient nation. <br /> b. Consistent implementation of NIMS provides a solid foundation across <br /> jurisdictions and disciplines to ensure effective and integrated <br /> preparedness, planning, and response. NIMS empowers the components <br /> of the National Preparedness System, a requirement of Presidential <br /> Policy Directive (PPD)-8, to guide activities within the public and private <br /> sector and describes the planning, organizational activities, equipping, <br /> training and exercising needed to build and sustain the core capabilities in <br /> support of the National Preparedness Goal. <br /> c. The Subrecipient agrees that in order to receive FFY 2015 federal <br /> preparedness funding, to include HSGP, NIMS compliance requirements <br /> for 2015 must be met. <br /> B.

Up to 5% percent of the HSGP award received by the County may be <br /> used for management and administrative purposes directly related to <br /> administration of the HSGP grant.
