Description

“TIMELY AND THOROUGH… AN EXTREMELY VALUABLE TOOL.” —Cynthia Kellams, Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management When the NIMS ICS Guide® was introduced in 2006, it was the first pocket reference to give first responders fast access to information needed for effective incident command. Now updated with National Response Framework (NRF), this must-have pocket reference is used by more than 150,000 public safety and health professionals. Now available for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, this interactive application allows you to customize contact information for each incident for rapid on-scene communication, and provides detailed dynamic checklists that ensure that no detail is missed. The content is all-hazards, non-jurisdictional and discipline-specific, and includes responsibilities and rules for applying the Incident Command System (ICS). In addition to being an indispensable field tool, it is ideal for NIMS/ICS training and functional exercises, with dozens of detailed illustrations, charts and checklists. Designed for responders at the local, state or federal level or in private industry, this will quickly become your preferred NIMS training and field decision-support tool. Support your NIMS training with this comprehensive app and feel confident that your NIMS compliance requirements are met. TESTIMONIALS “In the process of retooling our campus Emergency Management Plan, this has been an invaluable resource. It has also been of great benefit during ICS and unified command training and emergency management exercises. It’s a top notch product.” —Lieutenant Bret Collier, Professional Standards and Emergency Management, University of Houston Department of Public Safety “A fantastic resource…indispensable to public safety operations.” —Director of the Office of Emergency Management, Arlington, Texas “An excellent reference for anyone faced with the possibility of working within a NIMS environment.” —Ed Wilson, Past President, Western Fire Chiefs Association APP FEATURES * Dynamic checklists that ensure you remember all steps * Incident-specific addresses that you can reset for each incident * Addresses can be imported from your address book or entered manually * Detailed, easy-to-read color-coded ICS charts * All-hazards, non-jurisdictional, discipline-specific FOR MORE INFORMATION Informed Publishing offers a full product line of references for the medical and first response markets, as well as a consumer line for home and family emergency preparedness.

    6 years to update and fix bugs ? Stay away. Junk!!! Update: iOS says it slows down my iPhone and will not be supported in the next version. Lots of the graphics do not support resize, many to small to read.
  • 5+ Years Without an Update???!

    Seriously. Very disappointed that the developers haven't updated this app. No longer useable with the current iOS version. Unsatisfactory given the high cost of the app.
  • Update!

  • $15 for this dinosaur of an app?!

    The app has great information but the developers need to get their heads out of the sand and give it an update. It frequently freezes to the point I have to uninstall and reinstall it. Also the app hasn't been updated to support the new iPhones with larger screens. I paid $15 for an app that is worthless every time I need it most. Update this crap please.
  • Like the other reviewers, wish it worked

    Worked the first couple days then freezes and does nothing, and tight when I needed I might add! Great descriptions, from what I remember. Would definitely like a note pad and all the pertinent forms needed to at least work from. 14 duckets? Quite expensive for something that doesn't work. They need to open an IMC for their app and get their guys working on fixing it.
  • Keeps Freezing

    I don't know what it is, but since I purchased this app it has not worked properly. No matter if I shut it off, or reinstall it, it still won't work. I hope they come up with a fix for this with print capabilities and form access.
  • Not worth the cost.

    I was hoping this had some useful tools for when on deployment. It's a basic reference guide about what people do. That's it. When I'm working, I don't need a description of my job, I need forms and checklists to DO the job. For the cost, I figured this would have that stuff. It doesn't. Waste of money for me. Update October 6, 2015: App doesn't work. Starts up but does not respond. Totally worthless now. iOS 9.0.2
  • Great when it worked.

    Mine has stopped working. It is the perfect field guide to have when out doing work with my local CERT team.
  • Great App But Non Responsive

    I think this is a fantastic app. Has a lot of detailed information when it works. The problem that I have is that when I go to launch the app it doesn't respond. I have to delete it and re-install it. Would be great to have this fixed because I am looking for an alternative app. Hopefully this can be corrected.
