Overview:

This will be the 7th 3DM (Data Driven Decision Making) Workshop designed to engage industry (electric, food, water, transportation, fuel, lodging, finance & telecom) and government (local, state, federal) in an effort to identify new data sets and technologies that can be used by states/locals and industry to accelerate local/regional disaster related decision making, expanded regional situational awareness, and enhance operational coordination and communications during disasters.

This workshop will build on the previous efforts of the SISE (Sensitive Information Sharing Environment)  Working Group in 2018 and further develop specific use cases and the related solutions to address private sector disaster response issues.

Attendees will include representatives from the private sector, state and local government, and federal government agencies.

This workshop will engage attendees in a facilitated process designed to accomplish the following:

• Educate attendees on progress made today with several specific use cases being developed by the SISE working group 
• Discuss each use case and gather attendee input and recommendations on specific use case approaches, technologies, data sets, data partners, or possible solutions
• Provide for demonstrations of existing solutions to date including data sets, technologies, and third-party solutions
• Come to common agreement on next steps
  

The specific use cases to be discussed will include some of the following: (TBD)

• Response
