National Shelter System 1
National Shelter System 1 :
"In an effort to improve shelter management and accountability, FEMA and the American Red Cross developed the National Shelter System (NSS). The NSS is a web-based data system that supports shelter management, reporting, and facility identification activities. The system is intended for use by all agencies that provide shelter services during disasters to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the shelter populations and available shelter capacity. In addition, the system provides visibility on large shelter populations and positions FEMA to deliver targeted registration assistance to disaster victims".
