ISO 19115 (Metadata standard).
(c) Incident Management System. IMS is a system that integrates hardware, software, and data for managing,
analyzing, logging, and displaying incident-specific information in multiple views, sharing, and/or exchanging such
information across multiple users. All Type I installations shall develop and manage the capability to employ a
computer-based, GIS-enabled IMS in order to conduct the functions of information management, coordination, and
resource management. All other installations shall utilize conventional, manual incident management capabilities, to
include the employment of ICS techniques and practices such as the use of ICS forms for information management as
detailed in NIMS and supporting ICS training and documentation.
1. Incident Management System standards. IMS procured and fielded for use in the installation EOC environment
shall comply with the following standards:
Extensible markup language compliant (SEIWG ICD 0101A).
EDXL common alerting protocol (CAP) v1.2 compliant (OASIS Standard).
EDXL distribution element (DE) v1.0 compliant (OASIS Standard).
EDXL resource messaging (RM) v1.0 compliant (OASIS Standard).
Capable of developing and transmitting specific area message encoding-compliant messages.
IEEE 1512, 1512.1, 1512.2, and 1512.3 compliant.
Capable of managing, maintaining, accessing, and displaying NIMS resource management information, to include
cost management functions.
2. Domestic locations. IMS procured and fielded for use at domestic locations (as defined in chap 1) shall comply
with the following additional standards:
Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) specification to the CAP Standard (CAP v1.2 IPAWS USA
Profile v1.0) compliant.
Integrates with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) All-Hazards Emergency Message Collection
and Processing System (HAZCOLLECT).
Integrates with DHS Disaster Management – Open Platform for Emergency Networks.
Integrates with DHS Homeland Security Information Network.
(d) Modeling and simulation systems. All Type I installations shall develop and manage the capability to employ
computer-based, hazard-specific, and GIS-enabled modeling and simulation systems in order to identify current and
anticipated dispersion, effects, and/or consequences of specific hazards as identified in their risk management process.
All Type II and Type III installations shall utilize conventional, manual modeling capabilities, to include the employment
of the techniques described in the North American Emergency Response Guide.
1. Joint Program Manager–Installation Protection Program and/or Army Emergency First Responder Program Tier
2 and Tier 1 Capabilities. For Army installations in receipt of these packages, predictive modeling consists of the
provided hazard prediction and assessment capability, consequence assessment tool set, and Joint assessment of
catastrophic events suite or the EPA toolsets described below.
2. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency toolsets. For all Army installations with organic fire and emergency
services and/or environmental programs, the EPA provides the Area Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres, computeraided
management of emergency operations, and mapping application for response, planning, and local operational
tasks suite with supporting environmental sensitivity index maps and associated environmental sensitivity index viewer.
See http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/index.php for additional information.
3. Hazard-specific modeling systems. Hazard-specific modeling systems should be employed based upon the installation’s
hazard environment. The following systems are provided by the U.S. Government and should be considered for
use in the installation EOC:
FEMA “Hazards, U.S. – Multi-Hazard” (HAZUS–MH) Program (http://www.hazus.org).
Hurricane evacuation (HURREVAC) Program (http://www.hurrevac.com).
Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes Program (www.fema.gov/plan/prevent/nhp/slosh_link.shtm).
USGS shake maps (earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/shakemap/).
FEMA Coastal Hazard Analysis Model Program.
USGS Natural Hazards Support Center.
Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
n. Information sharing. Installations shall identify multiple information sources both within and outside DOD (for
example, open sources, general public, and law enforcement agencies) and establish and agree upon the following:
o. Budget and/or resource responsibilities. The EM program and, by direct association, the VIPP MDEP resource
select installation EOC requirements, including training of the installation EOC team and fielding and sustainment of
