Emergency Management Information Management System (EMIMS)
Emergency Management Information Management System (EMIMS) : "As part of the ongoing NRCC [National Response Coordination Center (FEMA HQ) ] capabilities upgrade, a new Emergency Management Information Management System (EMIMS) is being installed. EMIMS is a web-based software system that will provide greater support to the NRCC, RRCCs, and JFOs in managing disaster response operations and information flow, maintaining situational awareness, and coordinating information sharing. Our intent is to incorporate the initial RDD list already developed by the Office of Operations Coordination, expand it, and incorporate it into EMIMS as a secure resource module. Ultimately, with the capability provided by EMIMS, vital statistics on the location and content of RDD teams and resources can be loaded into the system by location and continuously updated by the responsible Federal department or agency and used on a real time basis by the interagency community to support responses. Our longer term goal is to use EMIMS to create a larger national asset database containing all Federal response teams and resources for all-hazards responses. This expanded database would also be protected and available to the interagency community for use to support disaster response". (FEMA, Statement of Glenn Cannon, November 2007, p. 5)
