The National Incident Management System (NIMS) Command Structure operates under specific concepts and principles. Using components of NIMS can be of value to programs that are looking for a method for preparing for TB testing events that may require coordination with multiple jurisdictions, different agencies, existing and volunteer personnel, and financial arrangements or resource requests from one or more levels of government or community agencies. For the purpose of TB mass testing in this congregate setting, adapting some components of the NIMS command structure has been shown to be helpful.
