Which NIMS structure develops, recommends, and executes public information plans and strategies?
A. Incident Command System
B. Joint Information System (JIS)
C. MAC Groups
D. Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
The Correct answer is: B. Joint Information System (JIS).
The Joint Information System (JIS) is responsible for developing, recommending, and executing public information plans and strategies in the National Incident Management System (NIMS) structure. JIS is designed to facilitate the coordination and dissemination of accurate, timely, and consistent information to the public and media during an incident or emergency.
The JIS works closely with the Incident Command System (ICS), Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and Multiagency Coordination Groups (MACGs) to ensure that information is shared effectively and efficiently across all responding agencies and organizations.
