All IMATs are national assets part of a nationwide readiness system, and therefore can be deployed anywhere across the nation, including U.S. territories, to support disasters based on the greatest need. The regional teams typically deploy for any federally declared incidents within their respective regions or in support of complex incidents outside their region, while national teams deploy for larger, more complex events, such as a major hurricane affecting multiple states.

This collaboration includes supporting Emergency Support Functions, and Recovery Support Functions in preparedness, disaster response, and National Special Security Events
