FEMA Information Technology Architecture 2.0
Version 2.0 of FEMA's Information Technology Architecture (ITA 2.0) provides
the agency's roadmap to improve and enhance its vital information services.
All of FEMA's central business processes, from disseminating disaster
assistance to purchasing office equipment, revolve around information
technology systems.
The strategy presented in ITA 2.0 is intended to enhance the existing
FEMA electronic(e-) infrastructure. With the publication of ITA 2.0, FEMA
affirms its commitment to the Administration's concept of e-government.
With its development of continuing investment in a robust IT infrastructure,
FEMA is well positioned to embark on the road to an e-FEMA.
As the Federal government's Emergency Coordinator, FEMA must be able to
set up fully IT-enabled field offices for hundreds of emergency managers,
establish high band-width connectivity to remote locations and dynamically
manage voice, data, and video services for administrative as well as disaster
missions.
A key element of FEMA's ITA is the National Emergency Management Information
System (NEMIS). NEMIS manages disaster grant funding to individual victims,
and state and local governments. Its extensive suite of integrated software
and hardware has all of the features of e-government and was designed
to provide the platform upon which the complete e-FEMA will
be built.
ITA 2.0 is now available for online download and additional copies may
be ordered via the Agency's publication warehouse by calling 1-800-480-2520.
