Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis guide offers a compilation of information intended to increase awareness and offer guidancein the area of resource manage
3、ment. While not binding on any sector, this guide presents ideas on andconcepts for what should be included as part of a resource management program. It is a blend of bestpractices for resource management and is intended to complement existing plans, policies, andprocedures; some terminology may dif
4、fer to convey the meaning to a broad audience. This guide isa product of an interagency task group formed to address the need for consistency in resourcemanagement processes nationwide and to assist the U.S. emergency management and homelandsecurity community in conforming to the basic concepts, pri
5、nciples, and policies of the NationalIncident Management System 2008 (NIMS).2This guide was established using the followingfoundational documents: the National Response Framework (NRF),3NFPA 16004and NFPA 1561,5NIMS, and the EMAP (Emergency Management Standard by the Emergency Management Accredi-tat
6、ion Program).61. Scope1.1 This guide provides a standard frame of reference formanaging resources in conjunction with an incident.1.2 This guide addresses fundamental terms, references,definitions, and a process model for implementation of re-source management plans, policies, and procedures in anin

Examples include b

35、.gov/emergency/nims/ResourceMngmnt.shtm#item4.E2640 1024.2 Documents developed from this guide should be re-viewed and revised as necessary based on new mandates and/orguidance or, at a minimum, on the standard ASTM five-yearreview cycle. The review should consider new and updatedrequirements and gu
36、idance, technologies, and other informa-tion or equipment that might have a significant impact on themanagement of resources.4.3 This guide describes minimum requirements associatedwith resource management for the purpose of emergencypreparedness, response, and recovery. To provide clarity, thisGuid
37、e has been divided into two distinct sections:4.3.1 Resource Management PreparednessActivities thatoccur prior to an incident. (Reference Section 6, ResourceManagement Preparedness.)4.3.2 Operational Process ModelSequential steps associ-ated with resource management during and following anincident.
38、(Reference Section 7, Operational Process Model.)5. Significance and Use5.1 Coordination and provision of emergency resources tojurisdictions and people impacted by all types of incidents is afundamental aspect of emergency management. The ability toidentify resource needs, articulate those needs ef
39、fectively toresource providers, and mobilize the necessary resources fromthe source to the point of distribution is the essence of disasterassistance. Standardization of terminology and processes willbenefit all individuals and entities engaged in emergency-related resource management.5.2 This guide
40、 provides emergency management and home-land security practitioners with a common, structured approachto resource management.6. Resource Management Preparedness6.1 Resource management preparedness addresses resourcemanagement activities and processes that should be in placeprior to an incident to fa
41、cilitate effective response. There areseven essential elements to resource management prepared-ness: (1) planning and procedures; (2) resource needs assess-ment; (3) resources (materiel, personnel, and services); (4)agreements; (5) inventory process; (6) maintenance; and (7)information systems. Each
42、 one of the aforementioned elementswill be discussed globally to set its context, in addition tosuggesting minimum requirements associated with each. How-ever, this Guide does not set a standard for such requirements.6.1.1 Planning and ProceduresThe planning processshould include indentifying resour
43、ce needs based on the threatsto and vulnerabilities of the jurisdiction and developing alter-native strategies to obtain the needed resources. Entities shouldinvolve key private and public stakeholders in advising onstrategic planning and operations for any resource managementprogram. Further, entit
44、ies should incorporate unique aspectsfrom their resource management program (for example, man-aging of personnel and materiel resources and services) intocomprehensive preparedness, response, and recovery plans andprocedures.6.1.2 Resource Needs AssessmentEntities should deter-mine baseline resource
45、 requirements, compare those require-ments with available resources, and identify additional re-source needs or gaps. A resource needs assessment is based onhazards/threats identified through a comprehensive all-hazardidentification and risk assessment (HIRA) process. An assess-ment of the functions
46、 that could be performed by the entitiesshould be conducted and documented. Procedures to obtainsuch services during an incident should be established throughcontracts and agreements. To the extent possible, communicatepotential resource needs to likely resource providers, includingthe private secto
47、r, to support appropriate planning on their part.6.1.3 ResourcesResources may be conveniently groupedinto three fundamental categories: (1) materiel, (2) personnel,and (3) services resources. Alternatively, other categories maybe appropriate, such as more specific typing (for example,information res
48、ources) or by criticality of need (for example,critical services). Personnel resource management is markedlydifferent from materiel resource management and deserves itsown treatment. The following sections provide a standardizedguide for materiel resources, personnel resources, and servicesutilized
49、during an incident. Additionally, it should be recog-nized that materiel, personnel, and services resources areprovided to or requested from four categories of sources: (1)government; (2) private-sector business; (3) NGOs; and (4)donations.6.1.3.1 Materiel ResourcesMateriel resources can be“typed” by Category, Kind, and Typethese three measuresare known as performance capability levels. There are two tiersof resource typing definitions as defined in the DHS, NIMSGuide NG 0001. Tier One resources include the nationallydefined FEMA 120 Resource Types. Ti
