The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Incident Management Systems Division has released the build one - beta version of the NIMS Incident Resource Inventory System (NIMS-IRIS) tool to the emergency response community. It allows emergency responders to enter a community's 120 typed resources into a common database.
