Register with the private sector's SISE

What is the SISE-net Virtual Exercise??

The private sector’s SISE-net Virtual Tabletop Exercise is designed to increase disaster communications and coordination between private sector and with multiple states in two ways:

1. Engaging multiple sectors and states to discuss their operational processes and procedures during each phase of the exercise so that everyone can:
   1. better understand how each sector and state prepares/responds, the challenges they face, and the people/organizations involved
   2. identify common gaps and potential use cases to work on together in the future
   3. jointly develop simple operational solutions or workarounds to address specific issues through education, training, research, or solution development   
2. Leverage and improve the operational information sharing capability between industry and state/local operations centers leveraging the private sector’s SISE (Sensitive Information Sharing Environment) and the SISE-net initiative so that:
   1. Participants understand what the SISE and the SISE-net initiative is and how it impacts state/private sector  coordination.
      1. All stakeholders know what information is currently available in the SISE and what else is needed for winter storm season preparedness/response.
      2. Decision-makers can use this information effectively for operational decisions.
      3. GIS professionals can jointly develop new data sets/sources to meet future information needs for the public/private community.
