Introduction to CIMS

This new video based on CIMS 3rd Edition provides an overview of the framework that agencies and organisations in Aotearoa use to manage responses to incidents and emergency events. It touches on CIMS principles and characteristics, roles, structures and functions and includes interviews with people from across the country who use CIMS.

This video can be used:
• During agency/organisation induction programmes
