After reviewing the citywide incident management system (CIMS) for New York City, and understanding the structure and the role of administrative agencies, what changes, if any do you believe should be incorporated, using Hurricane Sandy as an example?
Received in 2004 (and commanded by official request one year later), the Citywide Incident Management System (CIMS) sets up jobs and duties and assigns specialist for City, state, other government elements, and not-for-profit and private division associations performing and supporting crisis reaction.
The CIMS Protocol is New York City's execution of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS consistence is a necessity for future bureaucratic household readiness financing for nearby governments. While CIMS has been created to address New York City's one of a kind incident management prerequisites, its full consistence with NIMS guarantees similarity with incident direction systems being used in different states and government organizations. CIMS is intended to be versatile, and encourages the inclusion of extra associations, for example, private division and philanthropic elements.
