In 2003, the DHS created the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The purpose of this system is to provide a consistent nationwide approach for federal, state, and local governments to work effectively together to prepare for, prevent, respond to, and recover from disasters and domestic incidents. The NIMS is a comprehensive document addressing response to critical incidents. The Incident Command Center (ICC) is created to provide unity of command when responding to an event.
