What is the National Emergency Responder Credentialing System?
The National Emergency Responder Credentialing System is currently under development by the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s NIMS Integration Center. As a means to routinely identify and dispatch emergency responders, the National Emergency Responder Credentialing System will help mobilize the swift, safe and successful support of qualified responders who are called upon to assist communities across the nation. Ultimately, credentials verifying an emergency responder’s identity and qualifications may be documented through a nationally accepted form of identification and/or through a record-keeping system, as required by NIMS.
