    Numerous federal and state response agencies, including Joint Task Force Civil Support, spent weeks supporting response efforts in New Jersey and New York after Hurricane Sandy struck those regions last October. Modeling systems, like the Comprehensive National Incident Management System (CNIMS), may aid in response efforts by generating simulations that allow federal agencies to make more accurate plans before disaster strikes, allowing responders to more accurately predict resources available, behavior of populations, and the impact to critical infrastructure. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Technical Reach-back Division, recently briefed JTF-CS staff on CNIMS recently. DTRA demonstrated how the system can provide crucial information to planners and commanders involved in time-sensitive decision making before defense support to a civil authorities-led response in the homeland, such as the military assistance provided to New York and New Jersey following Hurricane Sandy.
