WebEOC Nexus: Delivering on EMPG FY 2025 Priorities

On July 28, 2025, FEMA released its FY 2025 Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), establishing two priorities:

1. 1. Extreme Weather Resilience
   2. Readiness

These priorities reflect the increasing urgency of responding to climate-driven hazards while ensuring jurisdictions remain operationally prepared for all hazards. It’s increasingly important to direct funding toward proven, sustainable solutions.

For years, WebEOC has consistently delivered on the EMPG program’s annually evolving priorities. WebEOC Nexus facilitates the resiliency, readiness and daily operations capabilities that EOCs and other state and local agencies rely on. To call out a limited few for context:

1. 1. Resource coordination augmented with Artificial Intelligence, dashboards and analytics
   2. Alerting and notifications with standardized, customizable workflows for daily operations
   3. Integration with other systems to streamline processes and provide a common operating picture across multiple datasets

Extreme Weather Resilience

As communities face increasingly severe hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and heat events, WebEOC Nexus can help jurisdictions enhance resilience by combining real-time situational awareness with faster recovery workflows.

1. Mutual Aid Activations

1. • Automate activation checklists with notifications to internal stakeholders and neighboring jurisdictions
   • Coordinate resources across jurisdictions, state agencies and the public
   • Tracking EMAC deployments and related costs
   • Fulfillment of IERSP Interstate Emergency Response Support Plan requests

2. Crisis Track Damage Assessment & FEMA Compliance Crisis Track | Damage Assessment Software | Juvare

1. • Improves Resiliency getting funding into communities faster, ensuring timely disaster declarations and maximizing reimbursement eligibility.
   • Accelerate damage collection with prepopulated assessment forms and tax data, auto-calculated cost estimates, and mobile labor/equipment tracking.
   • Map-based visualization of field assessment status, debris estimates, and infrastructure impacts.

3. Resource & Infrastructure Management

1. • Boards for Shelters, Facility Status, Road Closures, and Distribution Sites provide a common operating picture of shelter occupancy, facility safety, transportation routes, and commodity distribution.
   • Automated alerts keep stakeholders updated on closures, evacuations, or resource shortages.

4. Improved situational awareness with integrated datasets Partners | Juvare

1. • Predictive Impact Modeling with WeatherOptics
   • Real Time Flood Mapping with Iceye
   • Early Wildfire Detection with SenseNet
   • Live Hazard Monitoring with Baron Weather
   • Real Time Asset Location Tracking with Fleet Up

5. Operational Efficiency & Coordination

1. • Volunteer screening, verification and self-registration.
   • Analyze historical incident data, summarize trends, and produce after-action reports rapidly.
   • Clear visibility of resource deployments and costs, strengthening accountability.
   • Alerting enables multi-channel messaging (SMS, voice, email, Teams/Slack) to keep internal and external stakeholders aligned.

Readiness

WebEOC Nexus drives a culture of preparedness by standardizing planning, exercises, and operational readiness across agencies.

1. Continuity of Operations Planning

1. • Ensure continuity of critical functions by providing structured plans to keep essential services operating during and after disruptions.
   • Establish resource, facility, and communication strategies that sustain operations and support rapid recovery in adverse conditions.
   • Define leadership succession and authority so agencies can maintain decision-making and direction even when key personnel are unavailable.

2. Training & Exercises

1. • Realistic Crisis Training: SimulationDeck replicates real-world information environments so agencies can practice emergency management scenarios, strengthen decision-making, and build confidence before a disaster occurs.
   • Improved Coordination & Readiness: By stress-testing processes and refining response playbooks, SimulationDeck enhances interoperability across agencies, ensuring seamless coordination and faster, more effective responses when crises strike.
   • The Event Calendar supports scheduling of drills and operational tests, enhancing agency-wide readiness.
   • After Action Review boards capture lessons learned and corrective actions, aligned with FEMA’s HSEEP standards covering all phases of the exercise lifecycle.

Conclusion

Like in years past, WebEOC’s operational workflows, FEMA-compliant reporting and data integration capabilities continue to directly align with the EMPG program priorities in 2025.

The result: stronger Extreme Weather Resilience and Readiness for your communities. We appreciate the trust you have placed in us over the years and into the future as technology evolves.
