In the Incident Command System, a Unified Command is an authority structure in which the role of incident commander is shared by two or more individuals, each already having authority in a different responding agency. Unified command is one way to carry out command in which responding agencies and/or jurisdictions with responsibility for the incident share incident management.
The National Incident Management Plan (NIMP) is a strategic framework developed by the U.S. government to guide the coordination and management of incidents that may require federal assistance. It outlines the roles, responsibilities, and processes for various agencies and stakeholders involved in incident response, ensuring a unified approach to disaster management. The NIMP emphasizes preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation, facilitating effective communication and collaboration during emergencies.

Following an incident, the incident commander will typically contact mutual aid organizations, local emergency management agencies, and relevant state or federal agencies for additional resources or capabilities. They may also reach out to private sector partners or non-governmental organizations that can provide support. Coordination with these entities ensures a swift and effective response to the incident's needs.
One benefit of NIMS (National Incident Management System) is that it provides a standardized approach to incident management, enabling better coordination and communication between different agencies and organizations during emergencies.
