Explanation:

Question 11

To solve this, we recall NIMS Management Characteristics. "Management by Objectives" involves setting objectives, developing plans, assignments, etc., to achieve tasks. Other options: Comprehensive Resource Management is about resources, Modular Organization is about structure, Manageable Span of Control is about supervision span.

Emergency Operation Plans (EOPs) should provide a uniform response to all hazards a community may face. Option A: EOPs cover more than just recovery/contingency. Option B: Availability electronically isn't a key feature. Option D: EOPs don't replace NIMS.

Incident Type 1 requires regional/national resources, all Command/General Staff, branches activated, personnel >500, and disaster declaration. Type 2: smaller scale, Type 3: local/regional, Type 4: limited resources.

Answer:

D. Management by Objectives
