The New Zealand Coordinated Incident Management System (CIMS)〔()〕 is New Zealand's system for managing the response to an incident involving multiple responding agencies. Its developers based the system on California's Incident Command System (ICS) developed in the 1970s and other countries' adaptions of ICS, such as Australia's Australasian Inter-Service Incident Management System (AIIMS).〔New Zealand Fire Service Commission, p.8, 1998.〕 CIMS is a generic framework that can be adapted for each situation that arises. For example, while there are four management ''functions'', the incident itself determines the size of the incident management team. In an isolated incident, a single officer may perform all of functions and in a very complex incident each function could be subdivided. Instead, CIMS emphasises consistent terminology, a single multi-agency Incident Control Point for each site or, where possible, wider incident, and planning tools across all agencies. For example, the term "Assembly Area" means the same thing in every incident - although there may well be several Assembly Areas in more complex incidents. Likewise, all trained responders know the roles and responsibilities of the Logistics Manager. CIMS was initially designed in the late 1990s to be applied to all levels of emergency response management, similar to the USA National Incident Management System (NIMS) and UK's Gold Silver Bronze command system, however only the incident/site level of response coordination was clearly articulated in the original CIMS manual. CIMS was fully reviewed in 2014 subsequent to the 2010-2011 Cantebrury earthquakes, Pike River coal mine incident 2011, and the MV Rena grounding 2011. The revised 2014 manual now incorporates higher levels of incident and emergency response coordination, consistent with the arrangements and responsibilities are outlined in the National Civil Defence Emergency Management Plan〔()〕 (the National CDEM Plan). In some senses, the National CDEM Plan is similar to the Department of Homeland Security's National Response Framework. The revised approach to CIMS now puts more emphasis on management and coordination processes, such as the internationally standard Intelligence Cycle and a more mature Planning Process, than it does on coordination structures, as such. A distinguishing factor from other English-speaking systems is the use of the term control rather than command, such as the term "Incident Controller" for "Incident Commander". By implication, this was designed to emphasise that the incident management team is primarily a focused on coordinating the response by independent agencies, rather than ordering responders in a militaristic manner. This is complicated to a degree, as the person in charge of the Operations function, usually an Operations Manager, does have the authority to command agencies to act. ==Background concepts== CIMS is based around several background concepts that provide the basis for the operational elements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coordinated Incident Management System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
