The National Incident Management System (NIMS) Refresh was released on October 17, 2017. The updated doctrine reflects the collective expertise and experience of stakeholders who provided almost 3000 comments over a 30 day period in April and May of 2016.

The new doctrine, supporting guides, tools, and aids can be found at: https://www.fema.gov/nims-doctrine-supporting-guides-tools.

FEMA is hosting a series of webinars to provide information on the Refresh. Each 60 minute seminar (each covering the same material) will be to discuss updates in the refreshed NIMS and answer any questions related to NIMS.
