PASCOM Assessment Tool
The Partnerships for Safe and Secure Communities (PASCOM) mission is to assist communities in improving their safety and security through the development and dissemination of model policies and programs to prepare for all-hazards implemented through public-private partnerships and enhanced community involvement.
The PASCOM Assessment Tool will assist your community in identifying its critical assets, creating threat scenarios, assessing vulnerability, and analyzing risk. The data you collect during the assessment process will help inform your mitigation and response and recovery planning. In addition, the tool will provide information on countermeasures that may improve the safety and security of your community.

NIMS Incident Resource Inventory System (IRIS)
The National Integration Center (NIC) Incident Management Systems Integration (IMSI) Division is supporting the development of a database management tool for Federal, State, local, and tribal officials, which will be available to them at no cost. The software will allow emergency responders to enter typed resources and select specific resources for mutual aid purposes based upon mission requirements, capability of resources, and response time. The National Incident Management System - Incident Resource Inventory System (NIMS-IRIS) tool will be rolled out to the emergency response community in phases. Phase One will provide the basic database management tool to enter a community's 120 typed resources into a common database, which can be shared nationally and housed locally. Future system functionality will assist in placing and mobilizing resource requests, GPS tracking of resources, and resource recovery.
