NIMS Compliance

Beginning in FY 2007, all federal preparedness funding was conditioned upon full compliance with the NIMS Compliance Metrics.  Local and tribal jurisdictions will achieve what is considered to be full NIMS Compliance by completing the FY 2009 activities outlined in the 2009 Local or Tribal objectives, which may be found in the manuals in one of the links below.

For Local or Tribal agencies that have completed the FY 2008 NIMS requirements, there is only one additional compliance objective for FY 2009 ( implementing ICS-400 Training).  After completing the FY 2009 NIMS objectives, the designated POC must log in to NIMSCAST and complete the compliance objective questions.  Your completed answers on NIMSCAST is the only method available to OKOHS and FEMA to identify your NIMS compliance status.  You may refer to the NIMSCAST User Guide for further information on this process.  The “NIMS Compliance Objectives and Metrics with Explanations” document located at the link below has been created by the OKOHS to assist you in completing each compliance objective.
