    You will find this site of interest if you are:

• A public safety manager or responder interested in available information technologies such as DMIS Tools to share information and collaborate with other disciplines / jurisdictions to improve effectiveness before and during incident response / recovery operations.

• The developer of a government or commercial software product that supports incident response and recovery interested in utilizing a common network to distribute OASIS standards-compliant messages made possible by the "Open Platform for Emergency Networks (OPEN)".

• A government official responsible for issuing public warnings, interested in learning more about HazCollect, a cooperative effort between the Disaster Management program and the National Weather Service to automate warning dissemination.

    Vision

• Disaster Management (DM) enables responders to freely choose software products that best satisfy their functional needs while knowing that their chosen systems can exchange data with different systems used by mutual aid partners and all other incident response collaborators.
