But..but...with NIMS you'll have accurate, up-to-date and legally defensible paperwork about all the people you didn't have time to help because you were writing sitreps...and everyone has an internet-connected laptop with them at all times when they are pulling people out of a flooded river...

Some folks did give NIMS some credit in the I-35 collapse
