The Interagency Situation (SIT) Report application is a web-based application that captures incident activity and resource status information in summary form intended for use by managers. Once the information has been submitted via the web site, it can be accessed and utilized at local Dispatch Offices, Geographic Area Coordination Centers (GACCs) and the National Interagency Coordination Center (NICC) to produce summary reports to be used by agency managers as a decision making tool. Agency information officers also use the reports to disseminate incident activity to the media and public.

GACCs have edit access to all of the Dispatch Offices within their area. Additionally, NICC has edit access to all Dispatch Offices and GACCs.

The SIT Report is prepared daily when the National Preparedness is at Level 2 or above and when significant activity occurs. Please refer to your Geographic Area’s Mobilization Guide and the National Interagency Mobilization Guide for more specific reporting requirements for the SIT Report.

User Support
Technical support for the Situation Report program can be found through the National Fire and Aviation Management Web Applications site (FAMWEB), or at the Fire Applications Help Desk.
