An EMIS shall enable emergency managers or any emergency stakeholder (affected civilians, police, fireman, Non Government Organizations (NGO), etc.) make their required activities in any phase of an emergency in an easy and speedy way.
EMIS for Readiness

- Resource management
EMIS for Risk Mitigation

EMIS for Response

An EMIS interacts with many other early alert systems and communicates with many legacy systems.
