The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a section within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. NIMS is responsible for coordinating federal, state, and local government efforts to respond to and manage domestic MCIs. Local emergency management systems may communicate with the hospital from the field to determine how many clients the hospital can accept.
