Early last week I received an email update informing me that the "NIMS Guideline for the Credentialing of Personnel" was available. It included the following paragraph:
The NIMS Guideline for the Credentialing of Personnel (Guideline) is now final and available for use. The Guideline provides guidance on credentialing for Federal, State, Tribal and Local Personnel, as well as for persons affiliated with Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources, voluntary and not-for-profit response organizations. This Guideline was developed with the participation of stakeholders from key sectors of our society, and builds on the doctrine established in NIMS Guide 0002 NATIONAL CREDENTIALING DEFINITION AND CRITERIA dated March 27, 2007. The Guideline addresses the full range of responders who may be called upon and need to establish their legitimacy through proof of Identity, Qualification/Affiliation and Authorization to deploy.
I haven't had the opportunity to review the Guideline so I can't say much about it. I do plan to take a look soon. Links below:
The Guideline and the NIMS Guide 0002 can be found at the NIMS Resource Center at the following URLs:
