NICS has been developed in close partnership with the Emergency Management Community and has been used on hundreds of real-world events since 2010 to coordinate responses to all-hazard incidents (earthquakes, floods, wildland fires), search and rescue operations, and major security events. NICS supports both web and mobile clients. More information is available at: https://public.nics.ll.mit.edu.
