About NERIS

The National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS) is the next-generation replacement for NFIRS, designed to modernize how volunteer fire departments collect, manage, and analyze incident data. Built by USFA, DHS S&T, and FSRI, NERIS delivers cloud-based reporting, standardized data collection, and powerful analytics to support smarter decision-making. Accelerant is built as NERIS-ready software for volunteer fire departments, helping agencies streamline response logs, training records, and operational data while preparing for NERIS compliance and future reporting requirements.
