What is Mission Ready Packaging?

Specific response and recovery capabilities organized, developed, trained, and exercised prior to an emergency or disaster

MRPs are based on—and the next logical step after—NIMS Resource Typing. The NIMS resource typed equipment are part of the Mission Ready Package

You do not have to be NIMS resource typed to Mission Ready Package

MRPs are developed by Resource Owners/Providers and coordinated with state EMAs

Reducing the time from request to mission deployment means knowing what you have and the costs associated with that mission.
