The Nation's Trusted Network for Public / Private Crisis Collaboration and Innovation
|
For 20 years, the All Hazards Consortium (AHC) has helped state and industry operations leaders work together to solve real-world disaster problems faster, safer, and more effectively than they can alone.
Today, AHC is one of the only organizations in the nation that provides a FOIA-protected, legally vetted environment (the SISE) for year-round collaboration between government and private sector operators—those who carry real responsibility for keeping power, fuel, water, communications, supply chains, and communities running during crises.

National Policy Alignment The White House Executive Order Enhancing Efficiency Through State and Local Preparedness marks a strategic shift in national resilience policy—prioritizing local leadership, streamlining federal processes, and promoting risk-informed investment. In its 20th year, the All Hazards Consortium's (AHC) ENDEAVOR program leveraged an integrated planning model to bring state/local government together with industry to address common crisis response and recovery issues through ongoing planning and co-development of short, mid, and long-term solutions. The AHC community of states and private sector companies and trade associations is uniquely positioned to implement this new policy's vision at scale. Key ENDEAVOR Alignment w/New Policy Highlights:
The AHC's ENDEAVOR program operationalizes the goals of the Executive Order—empowering those closest to the risk, modernizing national preparedness, and delivering smarter, more efficient resilience outcomes for American communities. Learn more.... |

Mitigation and Resilience In 2022, the AHC leadership launched a Mitigation Initiative to unite states and critical infrastructure operators around resilience. The goal: share best practices, co-develop projects, secure funding, and train the next generation of mitigation pros. This public/private initiative enables real-time collaboration on infrastructure resilience projects—driving joint public/private grant applications, resource sharing, and policy alignment across sectors. By partnering with the private sector, state/local governments can benefit in many ways including increased resources, private sector match development, and reduces work load on agencies with limited or no staff resources to write, submit and managed a successful infrastructure grant project if awarded. "This public/private approach to mitigation grants gives local government an "easy-button" option to pursue federal infrastructure grants without having to be burdened with the grant match or long-term support and maintenance of an infrastructure system." Bud Mertz, Director, Westmoreland County Public Safety, Pennsylvania. Learn more... |

What People Say
"During floods and storms that cause power extended power outages, the AHC's unique real-time services provides our County Executive and senior leadership with the ability to better inform the public and county first responders on where they can purchase gas, coffee, food, water, medicine, medical supplies and hotel rooms.“
Director Emergency Management, County Government "The (electric sector's) fleet movement reports are especially valuable to me. These help me keep my Director informed about what is happening with Mississippi-based assets, that we would otherwise not be able to provide. If more companies could provide open/closed stores and facilities, that would improve my operational coordination. The SISE's SIGNAL chat app is especially valuable to our decision making because there was one place to get information from other states, initiating EMAC (state-to-state mutual assistance) to go to an affected state was easier. " Mississippi State Emergency Management "The one-stop shopping aspect of the information suits our needs well even though we are also receiving most of it through direct sources. It allows us to provide some resources that aren't otherwise available and therefore enables more granular decision making on the ground. " American Petroleum Institute "The data was great and very helpful, some of the most helpful tools were waivers and the road closured updates. Having all the information available at one site is so helpful, in the past I would have to visit multiple sites and would not have access to half the information I had with this site. Very Effective." Sparks Energy Inc "Allowing all information to be in one location. Very Effective." Exelon Corporation "Was able to locate state issued emergency waivers and declarations. Very helpful in providing private sector partners needed information. Very Effective." California Office Emergency Management "I felt there were some delays with updates during the overnight period. It provided vetted information that contributed to our decision making. Very Effective." Cencora (formerly AmerisourceBergen) |
Over 50,000+ Nationwide Stakeholders in Industry and Government
“In my 35+ year career in the utility sector, I have never seen the private sector and government operations people work so closely together to produce real solutions to improve each other’s disaster preparedness, response and recovery efforts.” Electric Sector Operations Executive, Retired "The SISE's Operational Information Sharing Hub is an excellent tool as it provides updated and vetted information in one location and has the side benefit of reducing the number of open tabs on my computer. Very Effective." South Florida Water Management District "The SISE continues to evolve and has become one of the most effective ways to get information from reliable state and industry sources to share with our internal and external stakeholders in industry and government." Verizon Communications "The SISE has become one of the most reliable places to get much needed information from states prior to landfall like declarations and waivers, but also from other sectors that our members depend upon like power, water, communications, transportation and fuel.
