NIMS provides a shared vocabulary, systems, and processes to deliver capabilities described in which framework?

• A. The National Response Framework
• B. The National Incident Action Plan
• C. The National Preparedness System
• D. The Strategic Emergency Plan

Answer: (C)

NIMS is built to provide a common language, consistent structures, and standardized processes that let diverse agencies work together during incidents. Those coordinated capabilities come from the National Preparedness Goal, and the way they’re organized and pursued is through the National Preparedness System. In short, NIMS supplies the management framework and the language you use to deliver the capabilities described by the National Preparedness Goal via the National Preparedness System. The other options cover different aspects of response planning, but they aren’t the framework that describes the nationwide capabilities NIMS is aimed at enabling.
