Operational manuals describe what FEMA personnel manage and how they support incident operations. Manuals include definitions, descriptions of roles, functions, structure, and concept of operations for those conducting FEMA incident management and support duties.
Manuals are intended to:
- Provide the high-level rules for operating.
- Address major, widespread operational issues.
Examples of FEMA manuals include the National Incident Support Manual and Regional Incident Support Manual.
