Content Description

NFPA 951, Guide to Building and Utilizing Digital Information, helps you design, implement, and maintain an operable, standards-based information management environment for all-hazards emergency response. Information technology management is a relatively new endeavor for many professionals in fire and emergency services; however, competency in this area is critical to data interoperability in mutual and automatic aid environments. Information technology management is critical to help keep emergency responders and the public safe, improve outcomes, and establish metrics. NFPA 951, Guide to Building and Utilizing Digital Information, is your source for envisioning, building, integrating, and maintaining information systems. It is a vital companion to NFPA 950, Standard for Data Development and Exchange for the Fire Service, which provides the basic framework for developing an accurate and compliant information technology program for fire and emergency services.
