Idea

The primary difference between NERIS and NFIRS is the Incident tab. Aside from the overall visual update in NERIS, the Response, Casualties, Payroll, and Map Preview tabs remain unchanged. The NFIRS Authorization tab has been merged into the Incident tab for a more streamlined experience.

Map Preview 

The Map Preview tab displays the incident location on your Google/ESRI map. In addition, the Map Preview section includes the Response Mode for on-scene action.neris-map-preview
