New York and NERIS
The federal NERIS mandate applies to New York departments as it applies nationwide. The New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control coordinates fire reporting for state departments and provides guidance on NERIS implementation.

New York Department Context
- New York has thousands of fire departments — many are small volunteer departments in rural areas of the state outside New York City
- New York City Fire Department (FDNY) operates independently with its own data systems and NERIS implementation pathway
- The New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services coordinates fire reporting for non-NYC departments
- New York's mix of large urban departments and small volunteer fire companies creates significant variation in NERIS implementation capacity
