Daily Private Sector Resource Reports
|
In the fall of 2012, Super Storm Sandy impacted the East Coast and particularly the areas of New Jersey and New York City.
The All Hazards Consortium, upon request from the impacted states, quickly turned to its private sector partners for assistance. Working with Hughes Network Systems, a global satellite communications company in Maryland, the Consortium quickly assembled an EXCEL spreadsheet of data that reflected the “open or close” status of hundreds of thousands of fuel, food, hotel, and pharmacy locations throughout the East Coast. As was learned later, this spreadsheet data became a central planning tool for the federal government response effort during the first two or three days of the storm. Daily reports were issued by the Consortium and used by both state and federal operations people to assist in the response. Additionally, private sector utilized this data to position their central personnel and assist with routing inbound utility fleets from around the country and Canada. |
