incident management that ensures an integrated, coordinated response

Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5 (HSPD-5) - answer This

systematic, proactive approach to guide departments and agencies at all
levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private

from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless of cause, size,
location, or complexity, in order to reduce the loss of life and property and
harm to the environment.
