What is CIMS?
The New Zealand Coordinated Incident Management System describes how New Zealand agencies coordinate, command, and control incident response of any scale, how the response can be structured, and the relationships between the respective CIMS foundations and between the levels of response. Developed in 1998, it aims to provide a framework so agencies can coordinate and cooperate effectively in a responde. Based off the Australian AIIMS program, it enables agencies to develop their own processes, procedures and training for the execution of CIMS and effective disaster recovery.
Why more are getting CIMS
Although New Zealand is generally positive with Emergency Management, the country is now seeing mor significant events than ever before. Clear direction on what courses and training should be adopted by organisations is vague. With CIMS, leadership teams are able to introduce a new resilience culuture that is backed by government and used by emergency services, helping to provide a higher level of confidence.
The Benefits of CIMS Training
As well as now being pushed by government as a requirement for New Zealand organisations to obtain, this training provides the opportunity for people to manage emergencies and non-emergency situations confidently with regulated training. It brings coordinated control and confidence to your people, drastically improving the culture and preparedness of an emergency.
CONTROL
With a Controller, Response Manager, technical experts and advisors, a team can gather responsibilities, set objectives and direct a response confidently.
INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence is the function responsible for the collection and analyse of response information. Continuing from that situational awareness, our training allows you to understand its importance.
PLANNING
Action plans that are developed need to align to contingency plans and long-term objectives within your organisation. We assist in effective planning and transitions to recovery.
OPERATIONS
How your CIMS training and program fits into your day to day organisation is important and often overlooked. We will develop confident techniques to build a culture and the ability to coordinate a response.
LOGISTICS
Logistical planning provides and tracks resources to support the response. Logistic planning during your CIMS training provides the knowledge of how to handle information overload and facts vs assumptions.
PUBLIC INFORMATION
Also known as PIM, this correctly informs the public & media about the incident and the response in a way that won’t damage reputation. You will leave this training with better techniques & confidence.
WELFARE
Nothing is more important than your people. Our training here aligns to the active response or an emergency with post-event effects in mind, using our own case studies to help.
Corperate & Partner Packages
Many of our CIMS clients are part of wider programs and contracts that use involve other suppliers.
