<br />personnel coordinate their efforts to effectively and efficiently provide the highest levels of incident
<br />management;
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, to facilitate the most efficient and effective incident management, it is critical that federal,
<br />state, local, and tribal organizations utilize standardized terminology, standardized organizational
<br />structures, interoperable communications, consolidated action plans, unified command structures,
<br />uniform personnel qualification standards, uniform planning, training, and exercising standards,
<br />comprehensive resource management, and designated incident facilities during emergencies or
<br />disasters;
