| Your jurisdiction should: |
- Use ICS and NIMS to manage all incidents, including recurring and/or planned special events.
- Integrate all response agencies and entities into a single, seamless system, from the Incident Command Post, through department Emergency Operations Centers (DEOCs) and local Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs), through the State EOC to the regional- and national-level entities.
- Develop and implement a public information system.
- Identify and type all resources according to established standards.
- Ensure that all personnel are trained properly for the job(s) they perform.
- Ensure communications interoperability and redundancy.

| Remember the importance of working with nongovernmental organizations, voluntary agencies, the private sector, and others to develop a plan for addressing volunteer needs before an emergency to help eliminate some of the potential problems that can occur during an emergency. |
