Talk:National Incident Management System

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I added a factual accuracy tag regarding this section: "The system's development was instigated on February 28, 2003 by President George W. Bush, who in Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-5, Management of Domestic Incidents directed the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop and administer the system. After the proposed system went through a period of vetting and coordination among federal agencies, NIMS was released by Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge on March 1, 2004.".

Misleading at best; NIMS used to be known as NIIMS (National Interagency Incident Management System) and dates back to 1982. KleenupKrew (talk) 22:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Consolidate Incident Command System Page to this one

Consideration to consolidate the Incident Command System (ICS) page into this one since ICS is in actuality replaced by the NIMS. What do you think? Paradiver (talk) 22:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
