FEMA SID REQUIRED FOR OSFM 24 BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2026

Beginning October 1, 2026, all Fire & Rescue personnel using OSFM 24 will be required to have a valid 10-digit FEMA Student Identification (SID) number associated with their account.

What should you do now?
Locate your FEMA SID and have it ready for October 1. Please do not update your FEMA SID in OSFM 24 before October 1. Because OSFM 24 is not currently configured to accept leading zeros in the FEMA SID field, most users should expect to enter their FEMA SID beginning October 1, even if they have previously provided a FEMA SID to OSFM.

If you already have a FEMA SID but don't remember it, do not create a new one. Retrieve your existing SID from FEMA. If you have never been issued a FEMA SID, you can register for one through FEMA.

Remember, your FEMA SID must be 10 digits. If you have an older SID with fewer than 10 digits, add zeros to the beginning.

Example: 1234567 becomes 0001234567

FEMA SIDs are issued and managed by FEMA. OSFM staff cannot create or look up FEMA SIDs.

Please share this information with Fire & Rescue personnel across North Carolina.
