IMPORTANT MESSAGE From USFA/FEMA/NFIRS:
eNFIRS Summary Output Reports Tool (SORT) Decommission - Early August 2023
To All NFIRS Users,
Effective early August 2023, the USFA eNFIRS Summary Output Reports Tool (SORT) will be decommissioned due to FEMA IT security requirements. The NFIRS Data Warehouse (DW), new reports tool, is available and was made available to users with the eNFIRS web-based tools in October 2020 to enhance existing report capabilities. USFA planned for and developed the NFIRS DW to eventually replace the SORT.
What this means to states and users:
• The USFA Summary Output Reports Tool (SORT) will no longer be available in the eNFIRS suite of support tools.
• All reports from the SORT will be available to users in the NFIRS Data Warehouse (DW).
• Users will need to have EDW Read Only permissions added to their accounts to access the NFIRS Data Warehouse; SORT permissions will be removed and no longer available.
• Additional training resources will be made available to support users with the NFIRS Data Warehouse.
To get access to the NFIRS Data Warehouse (DW) to schedule report, users must have an account in eNFIRS with EDW Read Only permissions. If you do not have access to the DW, please contact the appropriate NFIRS State Program Manager to request access and to get your account updated. https://urldefense.proofpoint.
Please contact the NFIRS Support Center if you have any questions.
Thank you.
