What this means to your
qualification!!
Paragraph 1 from NIMS Memo
dated 10 APR 2008
• The National Board recently voted to implement NIMS
training for CAP emergency services personnel.
• The board made the decision to become NIMS compliant
so that our volunteers will be better prepared to support
all our Federal, state, and local customers.
• Completing the same NIMS training that all other
agencies are striving toward will make CAP a more
viable partner that is able to work well with other similarly
trained organizations.
• It will also help your units qualify for grants that are only
available to those organizations that are NIMS
compliant.
