[Cross-posted] NIMS and SOPs

[Guest guest]

Has any comm-center/PSAP on the list completed integrating NIMS into their SOPs?

If so, how have you gone about this?

Do you have each SOP referencing the assocatied sections of the NIMS document,

or just some kind of basic disclaimer at the front of your SOP manual?

If the latter, would you be willing to share or paraphrase what your disclaimer

says?

Our county EMA told me using the " disclaimer " method was fine, and I was

thinking something along the lines of " Where applicable, Central Dispatch SOPs

conform to guidelines set by the National Incident Management System. " That's

not verbatim, I'll probably leave the exact wording up to our SOP committee, but

you get the idea?

Comments? Suggestions?
