NIMS is short for the National Incident Management System. FEMA has provided the NIMS independent study system so that elected officals can read the information, take the tests and get certified.
The exact NIMS course will depend on what is required by current state regulations and how long it has been since your last NIMS certification. If you have questions about which NIMS training you are missing, please contact the city administrator.
