Resource Typing and NIMS

Resource Management is a key component of NIMS. This effort helps all Federal, State, tribal, and local jurisdictions locate, request, and track resources to assist neighboring jurisdictions when local capability is overwhelmed.

The Resource Typing Library Tool (RTLT) is an online catalogue of national resource typing definitions, position qualifications and Position Task Books (PTBs) provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

For more information you can access the RTLT at https://rtlt.preptoolkit.fema.gov.
