Management by Objective: A management approach that involves a four-step <br /> process for achieving the incident goal. The Management by Objectives approach <br /> includes the following: establishing overarching objectives; developing and <br /> issuing assignments, plans, procedures, and protocols; establishing specific, <br /> measurable objectives for various incident management functional activities and <br /> directing efforts to fulfill them, in support of defined strategic objectives; and <br /> documenting results to measure performance and facilitate corrective action. <br /> Mitigation: The activities designed to reduce or eliminate risks to persons or <br /> property or to lessen the actual or potential effects or consequences of an <br /> incident. Mitigation measures may be implemented prior to, during, or after an <br /> incident. Mitigation measures are often informed by lessons learned from prior <br /> incidents. Mitigation involves ongoing actions to reduce exposure to, probability <br /> of, or potential loss from hazards. Measures may include zoning and building <br /> codes, floodplain buyouts, and analysis of hazard- related data to determine <br /> where it is safe to build or locate temporary facilities. Mitigation can include <br /> efforts to educate governments, businesses, and the public on measures they can <br /> take to reduce loss and injury. <br /> Mobilization: The process and procedures used by all organizations—Federal, <br /> State, local, and tribal—for activating, assembling, and transporting all resources <br /> that have been requested to respond to or support an incident. <br /> Multiagency Coordination Entity: A multiagency coordination entity functions <br /> within a broader multiagency coordination system. It may establish the priorities <br /> among incidents and associated resource allocations, deconflict agency policies, <br /> and provide strategic guidance and direction to support incident management <br /> activities. <br /> Multiagency Coordination Systems: Multiagency coordination systems provide <br /> the architecture to support coordination for incident prioritization, critical <br /> resource allocation, communications systems integration, and information <br /> coordination. The components of multiagency coordination systems include <br /> facilities, equipment, emergency operation centers (EOCs), specific multiagency <br /> coordination entities, personnel, procedures, and communications. These systems <br /> assist agencies and organizations to fully integrate the subsystems of the NIMS. <br /> Multijurisdictional Incident: An incident requiring action from multiple <br /> agencies that each have jurisdiction to manage certain aspects of an incident. In <br /> ICS, these incidents will be managed under Unified Command. <br /> Mutual-Aid Agreement: Written agreement between agencies and/or <br /> jurisdictions that they will assist one another on request, by furnishing personnel, <br /> equipment, and/or expertise in a specified manner. <br /> 8 <br />
