The NIMS guiding principle of ________ supports interoperability among multiple organizations in incident response.

  1. Flexibility

  2. Adaptability

  3. Standardization

  4. Individuality

The correct answer is: Standardization

The NIMS guiding principle of standardization emphasizes the importance of using common terminology, resource management, and operational procedures during incident response. This helps different organizations and personnel to better understand each other and work together seamlessly, ultimately improving overall response efforts. The other options, flexibility, adaptability, and individuality, do not support this idea of standardization and may lead to confusion or inefficiency in a multi-organizational response.
