AWR160 - Module 1 Exam Questions And
Answers |Latest 2025 | Guaranteed Pass.
Flexibility - Answer✔NIMS components are adaptable to any situation, from planned special
events to routine local incidents to incidents involving interstate mutual aid or federal
assistance. Some incidents need multiagency, multijurisdictional, and/or multidisciplinary
coordination. Flexibility allows NIMS to be scalable and, therefore, applicable for incidents that
vary widely in terms of hazard, geography, demographics, climate, cultural, and organizational
authorities.
Standardization - Answer✔Standardization is essential to interoperability among multiple
organizations in incident response. NIMS defines standard organizational structures that
improve integration and connectivity among jurisdictions and organizations. NIMS defines
standard practices that allow incident personnel to work together effectively and foster
cohesion among the various organizations involved. NIMS also includes common terminology,
which enables effective communication.
Unity of effort - Answer✔Unity of effort means coordinating activities among various
organizations to achieve common objectives. Unity of effort enables organizations with specific
jurisdictional responsibilities to support each other while maintaining their own authorities.
Resource Management - Answer✔Resource management describes standard mechanisms to
systematically manage resources, including personnel, equipment, supplies, teams, and
facilities, both before and during incidents in order to allow organizations to more effectively
share resources when needed.
Command and coordination - Answer✔Local authorities handle most incidents using the
communications systems, dispatch centers, and incident personnel within a single jurisdiction.
Larger and more complex incidents, however, may begin with a single jurisdiction, but rapidly
expand to multijurisdictional and/or multidisciplinary efforts necessitating outside resources
and support. Standard incident command and coordination systems allow the efficient
integration of these outside resources and enable assisting personnel from anywhere in the
nation to participate in the incident management structure. The command and coordination
component of NIMS describes the systems, principles, and structures that provide a standard,
national framework for incident management.

Regardless of the size, complexity, or scope of the incident, effective command and
coordination—using flexible and standard processes and systems—helps save lives and stabilize
the situation. Incident command and coordination consist of four areas of responsibility:Tactical
activities to apply resources on scene
Incident support, typically conducted at Emergency Operations Centers (EOC), through
operational and strategic coordination, resource acquisition and information gathering,
analysis, and sharing
Policy guidance and senior-level decision making
Outreach and communication with the media and public to keep them informed about the
incident
Communications and information management - Answer✔Incident personnel rely on flexible
communications and information systems to obtain and provide accurate, timely, and relevant
information. Establishing and maintaining situational awareness and ensuring accessibility and
voice and data interoperability are the principal goals of the communications and information
management component. Properly planned, established, and applied communications facilitate
information dissemination among command and support elements and cooperating
jurisdictions and organizations.
Surprise - Answer✔The element of surprise in a terrorist attack offers more reward for the
terrorist. Few people have prior knowledge of the attack plans; even fewer people have
knowledge of the dates and times the attack will be executed. The shock value gained by the
swiftness and suddenness of the attack bolsters the terrorist's self-image.
Means - Answer✔Limited only by the terrorist's imagination, the attack can range from
releasing a chemical, biological, or radiological agent to detonating an Improvised Explosive
Device (IED). According to federal authorities, the most likely terrorist scenario involves the use
of an IED.
Target - Answer✔Targets can be individuals marked for assassination or the Critical
Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) sectors discussed in this module
Reconnaissance - Answer✔Terrorists gain understanding of a community's capability to
respond to mass casualty incidents by surveying responder resources, and they plan
accordingly. False alarm calls often enable terrorists to see firsthand how the community
responds to an incident
Significant Dates - Answer✔Attacks have been related to historically significant dates. In 1995,
the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was bombed on the anniversary of the April 19, 1993,
Waco, Texas Branch Davidian fire. Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the
train attacks in Madrid, Spain on March 11, 2004, these dates have also become significant
