New Capabilities

New DMIS Tools Capabilities – Release 2.3.3

National Incident Summary Map (NISM) - The NISM has been replaced by the new Disaster Management Map (DMM) Web-based application (please see below).

Disaster Management Map (DMM) – The DMM is a secure Web-based application that may be accessed through the DMI-Services/Disaster Management Tools menu and consists of the following features:

National Map –

displays Alerts and Incidents of national interest posted and selected to be viewed on the National Map. This information is viewable by all DMIS COGs.

My Map –

displays Alerts and Incidents selected to appear on My Map by your own COG for your own COG’s use. This information is viewable only by your COG.

Non-Weather Emergency Messages (NWEMs) – NWEMs will be rapidly disseminated to the public via the National Weather Service (NWS) All-Hazards Emergency Message Collection System (HazCollect). DMIS Tools are the initial software that will enable authoring of NWEMs and their posting to HazCollect for. The feature becomes active after NWS has approved your COG and Primary Operators to use the HazCollect system. After approval and activation of the DMIS NWEM feature by the HazCollect server, Primary Operators will be able to author and post NWEMs for relay through HazCollect.

Expanded Web Map Services (WMS) – The WMS feature within the DMIS Tools Map function now offers a national view of current natural disasters from the US Geological Survey’s Natural Hazards Support System and high resolution ortho-imagery of 81 high-threat jurisdictions.
