Interoperability Backbone

What is the DMIS Interoperability Backbone?

The DMIS Interoperability Backbone is a web service that provides responders with communication tools that allow them to share information with other responder organizations. Responder groups receive and transmit information over the web, enabling them to rapidly develop and exchange incident information with other responder organizations. This capability of sharing incident information gives all responders greater knowledge of a particular disaster event by leveraging technology to gain efficiency.

This gained efficiency allows responders to:

Gain Early Awareness
Better Coordinate Response Among Organizations
Save More Lives
Minimize Property Damage

Local Responder Organizations
Statewide Responder Organizations
Regional Responder Organizations
National Responder Organizations
