Title: DOD Information Sharing with Domestic Emergency Partners for DSCA Missions
Abstract: Abstract : Large-scale terrorist acts and natural disasters in the last 10 years have prompted aid responses from many different federal, state, and local government agencies as well as nongovernment and private volunteer organizations and corporations. Each responding entity needs information to carry out its support functions and, in turn, will have information to share with other entities involved in the incident. U.S. military organizations providing support must proactively identify and implement ways to collaborate and share information with other domestic emergency response partners, including the public, while protecting and defending military networks. To do this prior to an incident, common points of coordination must be defined and the terms and conditions for establishing data-sharing relationships must be established. This must occur with the entities most likely to respond to large-scale incidents. Policies for forming ad-hoc relationships must be developed and communicated so that other entities can prepare to participate more collaboratively. Strengthening relationships in this manner will promote an informed response at critical times when lives hang in the balance.
