Description

“TIMELY AND THOROUGH… AN EXTREMELY VALUABLE TOOL.”
—Cynthia Kellams, Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management

When the NIMS Incident Command System Field Guide® was introduced in 2006, it was the first pocket reference on the market to give first responders fast access to the information they need for effective incident command.

This app from Informed Publishing—the trusted leader in emergency reference information since 1986—makes the bestselling reference for NIMS available for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

This is the app you will use in classroom training and in practice throughout your career. It provides fast access to critical information that outlines NIMS objectives clearly and concisely for responders at the local, state or federal level or in private industry. The content is all-hazards, non-jurisdictional and discipline-specific, and includes responsibilities and checklists for applying the Incident Command System (ICS).

With comprehensive content and detailed illustrations, it is ideal for NIMS and ICS training, during training and functional exercises and on incident responses when having fast access to a trusted reference is critical. Combine this comprehensive app with your training and feel confident that your NIMS compliance requirements are met.

This app is powered by Avatron Software’s Air PDF engine, the PDF renderer used by the popular Air Sharing Pro app, and includes free content updates for the life of the edition.
