All Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT)
The All-Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT) serves as the forward coordinating element for the State Emergency Response Team (SERT) and the State Coordinating Officer (SCO). AHIMTs do not typically assume operational control of an incident; however, they provide situational awareness and operational planning to the SERT and the SCO by incorporating information collected from the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC), County EOCs, local agencies. The AHIMT will assist in the coordination of necessary logistical support to the SCO and SERT for forward deployment.

Qualification standards are essential to the emergency management community in that they ensure and validate the identity and attributes (e.g., affiliations, skills, or privileges) of individuals or members of response teams through established agreed-upon standards. The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) is committed to improving emergency management and response capabilities in the United States for all major disasters and other incidents where mutual aid is required. The FDEM recognizes the existing authority for local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) to regulate mutual aid. The intent is to build on existing processes and systems to improve the delivery of intrastate mutual aid. Implementing a qualification standard provides confidence that the personnel and resources provided under mutual aid match the request.
