which nims management characteristics includes developing and issuing assignments plans procedures
The National Incident Management System (NIMS) management characteristic that includes developing and issuing assignments, plans, and procedures is known as "Management by Objectives." In NIMS, Management by Objectives involves establishing specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) objectives for an incident. Once these objectives are set, the next step is to develop and issue assignments, plans, procedures, and protocols to achieve those objectives. This characteristic emphasizes the importance of clear direction, effective communication, and coordination in managing incidents. It ensures that everyone involved in the incident response understands their roles and responsibilities, contributing to a more organized and efficient response.
