The National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS) is a mission-critical platform designed to equip America’s fire service with the data and tools needed to respond swiftly and effectively to emergencies. NERIS Version 1 delivers timely intelligence, advanced analytics, and seamless interoperability to support first responders at every level. This modern system enhances preparedness, improves resource allocation, and strengthens coordination for all-hazard incident response. As NERIS expands nationwide in 2025, it will provide scalable, adaptable tools for fire departments, municipalities, and emergency agencies of all sizes. With a geospatial foundation, scalable cloud-based architecture, and flexible data schema to capture emerging threats, NERIS supports those on the front lines protecting American lives and communities.
