Standardized Emergency Management
System (SEMS) Guidelines
The 2006 edition of the SEMS Guidelines is the result of work done by the SEMS Maintenance System in 2001 and the California Implementation Guidelines for the National Incident Management System (NIMS) published in 2006.

The California Implementation Guidelines for the National Incident Management System were approved by the SEMS Advisory Board on April 26, 2006. The Guidelines were developed to support NIMS compliance by state agencies, local and tribal government, and formed the basis for 12 workshops held during the summer of 2006. The Guidelines are available through the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services’ (OES) Website (www.oes.ca.gov), or by requesting a copy from the Preparedness Branch of the OES.

As the federal government refines and implements the NIMS, the SEMS Guidelines will be reviewed and revised as necessary through the SEMS Maintenance System."
