WHEREAS the President of the United States, in Homeland Security Directive

together more effectively and efficiently to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover
from domestic Incidents, regardless of cause, size or complexity; and

tribal security partners has been, and will continue to be vital to the development,
effective implementation and utilization of a comprehensive NIMS; and
WHEREAS it is necessary and desirable that all federal, state, local and tribal
emergency agencies and personnel coordinate their efforts to effectively and efficiently
provide the highest levels of incident management; and

is critical that federal, state, local, and tribal organizations utilize standardized
terminology, standardized organizational structures, interoperable communications,
consolidated action plans, unified command structures, uniform personnel qualification
standards, uniform planning, training, and exercising standards, comprehensive
resource management, and designated incident facilities during emergencies or
disasters; and
WHEREAS, the NIMS standardized procedures for managing personnel,
communications, facilities, and resources will improve the City's ability to utilize federal
and state funding to enhance local agency readiness, maintain first responder safety,
and streamline incident management processes; and

integral part of various incident management activities throughout the State and
Ramsey County, including current emergency management training programs; and

recommended adoption of a standardized Incident Command System; and
