Non-profit advocacy alliance committed to improving all-hazards emergency response through modern information and communications technologies. The emergency response environment requires effective communication between all elements of an extraordinarily diverse eco-system of over 100,000 independent organizations plus the private sector and the general public. Information needed by responders exists in a multiplicity of publicly and privately controlled locations with independent organizations, disparate systems, and silo systems approaches. Information that would improve response and/or make responders safer is too often not accessible. The result is loss of life and property, repeated underperformance and/or failure, and overall system inefficiencies.
