National Engagement Period
FEMA is seeking input into the National Incident Management System (NIMS) refresh.
NIMS provides a consistent nationwide approach and vocabulary to enable the whole community to work together seamlessly and manage all threats and hazards. NIMS applies to all incidents, regardless of cause, size, location or complexity.
FEMA is in the process of reviewing and refreshing NIMS and is seeking stakeholder input on the draft. The draft of the refreshed NIMS retains key concepts and principles from the 2004 and 2008 versions, while incorporating lessons learned from exercises and real world incidents, best practices, and changes in national policy, including updates to the National Preparedness System. Download the draft version of the refreshed NIMS and feedback matrix here.

This National Engagement Period begins April 8, 2016 and will conclude at 5:00 pm EDT on May 9, 2016. National engagement provides an opportunity for interested parties to comment on the draft NIMS, so that it reflects the collective expertise and experience of the whole community.
