Automated Resource Management System (ARMS) (2) : Under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) - Preparedness Division, ARMS is a computerized system to locate and manage seleted resources to assist emergency managers at all levels in an emergency. The primary system requirement for ARMS is to be able to store, search, locate, and display selected resource information for those resource items that have been "defined and typed" and approved by DHS/FEMA and the National Resource Management Working Group. ARMS software includes (1) Resource Inventory Repository (2) Resource Requesting tool (3) Resource Ordering tool (4) Resource Tracking tool. ARMS generates reports and provides billing papers.
