NERIS Department First Steps

NERIS Setup for launch 2026

Data plays a crucial role in Community Risk Reduction, and Georgia has excelled in ensuring that all Fire Incident Reports are submitted. An essential aspect of Community Risk Reduction involves securing funding for our departments, and to be eligible for Federal Grants, all departments must report to the new National Emergency Incident Reporting System (NERIS).
To simplify this process, we are working on uploading the initial information and creating your account. However, we will need some information from you to proceed.
