FEMA is hosting two sessions of a 1-hour webinar on the Response Inventory System (RIS), National Resource Hub: From Chaos to Coordination: The RIS Advantage in Disaster Preparedness

Resource management is the cornerstone of preparing for and responding to incidents that require mutual aid among agencies and jurisdictions.

The webinar will cover the basic capabilities and functions of RIS. Participants will learn:

• The benefits of using RIS before, during, and after a disaster.
• RIS’s role in the resource management process.
• How to use RIS to type, inventory, and prepare resources ahead of a disaster.
• How to use RIS when responding to a disaster.

There will be a live demonstration of how to use RIS, and participants will be able to ask questions at the end of the presentation.

Please register in advance to attend either of the following offerings of this webinar. Each session will cover the same information:

• Tuesday, Feb. 4, from 1-2 p.m. EST 
• Thursday, Feb. 6, from 1-2 p.m. EST
