Next Generation DM: DM-Framework and Enhanced DM-OPEN 2.0

The FEMA Disaster Management Program is in the process of implementing a “Next Generation” system for providing the first responder and emergency management communities with improved capabilities for capturing critical incident- or disaster-related information, and an enhanced, interoperability platform for the exchange of that information with other responding organizations.

The new DM-Framework will ultimately replace the existing DMIS Tools with a user-friendly, browser-based interface, accessible across the full spectrum of computer operating systems.

DM-OPEN will provide enhanced capabilities for enabling information exchange either within the DM-Framework environment, or with other standards-compliant incident management software systems.

Current capabilities of DMIS Tools and OPEN Web Services are described in other parts of this site. For further information on future capabilities and current status, please review the following sections:
