National Emergency Response
Information System (NERIS)

  • Share on:

The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) is leading a national effort to develop and launch a new interoperable fire information and innovative analytics platform, known as the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS).

NERIS will empower the fire and emergency services community by equipping them with an empirical basis for decision-making. It will provide the community with reliable predictive analytics to support enhanced preparedness and response to all-hazard incidents, wildland urban interface events, community risk reduction efforts and associated resilience and mitigation efforts, and future pandemic emergency response resource preparedness.

The U.S. Fire Administration’s role in NERIS

The USFA’s National Fire Data Center is taking the charge in analyzing NERIS data and providing insights to the fire service and public.
