Which NIMS guiding principle supports interoperability among multiple organizations?

A.  Unity of Effort

B.  Standardization

C.  Flexibility

D.  Adaptability

 

The Correct Answer is: – B. Standardization

 

The National Incident Management System (NIMS) guiding principle that supports interoperability among multiple organizations is “Common Terminology.”

As a key component of NIMS, Common Terminology ensures that responders from different agencies and jurisdictions use standardized, consistent language and vocabulary when communicating and coordinating during an incident. This common language helps to eliminate confusion and enhances the ability of multiple organizations to work together effectively in response to an incident. By using the same terminology and definitions, responders can understand each other clearly and execute their tasks efficiently, which is crucial for interoperability in emergency management.
