Partnerships Projects and Initiatives

• Virtual Business EOC (VBEOC)
  The V-BEOC is a web-based information sharing platform that facilitates collaboration between public, private and non-profit organizations.
• Big Business Small Business Recognition Program
  The Big Business-Small Business Emergency Management Mentorship Program is designed to motivate and encourage large businesses to provide mutually beneficial emergency preparedness, response, and recovery expertise to small businesses. The program was created to improve the resiliency of small businesses, and reduce recovery time after a disaster.
• NIMSAT/IAEM-USA Joint Press Release: Big Business-Small Business Emergency Management Mentorship Program Launches for Enhanced Disaster Resiliency (01 June 2012)
• The All Hazards Consortium
  The AHC's key outcome is the integration of planning efforts for projects and systems between government (e.g. state, local & federal) and the private sector infrastructure owner/operators for the following sectors; Power, Transportation, Telecommunications, Medical, Food / Water, Banking & Finance, Information Technology, Housing / Commercial, Facilities and Chemical.
• CONNECT Colorado
  The CONNECT Colorado Resource Inventory, a project of the Colorado Emergency Preparedness Partnership (CEPP) and the Denver Infragard Member’s Alliance, is fully integrated with State of Colorado resource management systems and processes, not a separate private sector phone book. It documents, categorizes, and makes available to emergency responders the equipment, supplies, and expertise of the business community for the security and response capability across the state of Colorado.
• Corporate Emergency Access System
  CEAS is a pre-event credentialing program, which authenticates critical business employees for access to restricted areas following a disaster or serious emergency using a secure identification card recognized by the police. Municipalities must adopt the CEAS Program for use in their jurisdiction before businesses can enroll in the Program and receive ID cards. The local authorities can implement CEAS following an emergency once immediate threats to life are stabilized.
• Business Executives for National Security
  Business Executives for National Security (BENS), a nationwide, non-partisan organization, is the primary channel through which senior business executives can help enhance the nation's security. BENS members use their business experience to help government leaders implement solutions to the most challenging national security problems. BENS has only one special interest: to help make America safe and secure.
• InfraGard
  InfraGard is an information sharing and analysis effort serving the interests and combining the knowledge base of a wide range of members. At its most basic level, InfraGard is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the private sector.
• NIMSAT
  The NIMSAT Institute aims to support and strengthen strategic partnerships between key public and private entities in emergency management at all levels, including non-profit organizations, leveraging national assets and partners for action and support throughout the country.
