Book Description
The National Wildfire Coordinating Group provides national leadership to enable interoperable wildland fire operations among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners. Primary objectives include: Establish national interagency wildland fire operations standards; Recognize that the decision to adopt standards is made independently by the NWCG members and communicated through their respective directives systems; Establish wildland fire position standards, qualifications requirements, and performance support capabilities (e.g. training courses, job aids) that enable implementation of NWCG standards; Support the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy goals: to restore and maintain resilient landscapes; create fire adapted communities; and respond to wildfires safely and effectively; Establish information technology (IT) capability requirements for wildland fire; and Ensure that all NWCG activities contribute to safe, effective, and coordinated national interagency wildland fire operations. The "NWCG Standards for Interagency Incident Business Management" assists participating agencies of the NWCG to constructively work together to provide effective execution of each agency's incident business management program by establishing procedures for: - Uniform application of regulations on the use of human resources, including classification, payroll, commissary, injury compensation, and travel. - Acquisition of necessary equipment and supplies from appropriate sources in accordance with applicable procurement regulations. - Management and tracking of government property. - Financial coordination with the jurisdictional agency and maintenance of finance, property, procurement, and personnel records, and forms. - Use and coordination of incident business management functions as they relate to sharing of resources among federal, state, and local agencies, including the military. - Documentation and reporting of claims. - Documentation of costs and cost management practices. - Administrative processes for all-hazards incidents.
