What does it mean for State, territory, tribal, and local governments to be in full compliance with the NIMS?
State, territory, tribal and local governments are considered to be in compliance with NIMS for FY 2005 and FY 2006 if they have adopted and/or implemented the compliance activities for those fiscal years. Adoption and/or implementation of these compliance activities have been self-certified by the Governor’s office for each State and territory, which includes tribal and local governments. Implementation of and compliance with the NIMS is critical to ensuring full and robust preparedness across our nation. New requirements will be added in FY 2007 and beyond based on lessons learned during disasters, exercises and other events.
