Why Should You Attend?
The Homeland Security Presidential Directive – 5 (HSPD-5) requires all Federal, State, Local, and Tribal jurisdictions to adopt the NIMS by 2005. On Oct 1, 2004 the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will release its compliance standards and protocols for the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Therefore, first responder agencies must start implementing this standardized framework now. Attending the 2004 Emergency Response Summit will help you acquire strategies to implement the NIMS and to get the most up-to-date innovative incident management and emergency response techniques.

Attend this summit if you want to...

  • Enhance and implement emergency plans to meet the NIMS proposals and meet federal funding mandates
  • Acquire strategies for effective incident command protocol
  • Engage in interactive training simulations – face an unknown emergency!
  • Get you and your department prepared to meet the 2005 NIMS mandates
