Event Details
FEMA is hosting a 1-hour webinar on the Resource Inventory System (RIS), on May 15, from 1-2 p.m. ET, and on May 21, 2024, from 1-2 p.m. ET.
The webinar will cover the basic capabilities and functions of RIS and explore new functions recently added to the tool. Resource management is the cornerstone of preparing for and responding to incidents that require mutual aid among agencies and jurisdictions. The Resource Inventory System (RIS) is a centralized, secure, and cloud-hosted resource inventory solution for use by the community in building and strengthening resource management preparedness. RIS enables organizations and users to identify and inventory their resources consistent with National Incident Management System (NIMS) resource types and National Qualification System (NQS) positions.
The webinar will explain RIS's role in the resource management process. Participants will gain insights into updates, including:
- the ability for an organization to choose when and how to implement updates and/or releases to National Resource Types in the Resource Typing Library Tool
- individual ownership of an organization’s local definitions/qualifications
- the ability for Organization Administrators to more easily see and manage their organization’s users.
Participants will be able to ask questions at the end of the presentation.
