During a wildfire, tornado or hurricane, who is in charge? In the United States, the answer is the Incident Commander as defined by the National Incident Management System (NIMS). NIMS provides a method to herd cats for all types of hazards regardless of agency.

Come drink the Kool-Aid with us and bring IT into the 20th century of incident response.
