According to the NIC this is what it is and why we are to do it. What is resource typing? Resource typing is the categorization and description of response resources that are commonly exchanged in disasters through mutual aid agreements. The NIMS Integration Center has developed and published 120 Resource Typing Definitions. What is the purpose of resource typing? Resource typing enhances emergency readiness and response at all levels of government through a system that allows an already overwhelmed jurisdiction to augment its response resources during an incident. Standard resource typing definitions help responders request and deploy the resources they need through the use of common terminology. They allow emergency management personnel to identify, locate, request, order and track outside resources quickly and effectively and facilitate the movement of these resources to the jurisdiction that needs them. In order to meet this requirement Bonneville County has entered into a contract with Rick Fawcett of Whisper Mountain Professional Services, Inc., to do the resource typing for all the agencies within the County. We have asked Rick to brief the LEPC on how that task will be accomplished, what he expects from the agencies and what the end product will look like. This will be an excellent opportunity to get this effort off to a good start. The meeting starts at 9:00 a.m., Tuesday, July 31, 2007 in the basement of the Law Enforcement Building room B02.
