What is the SISE (Sensitive Information Sharing Environment)?
The SISE is a private sector guided "trust framework" for information sharing operated by the All Hazards Consortium and its partners from government and industry for the purpose of problem solving, planning, exercising, and sharing sensitive operational information before, during and after storms, disasters and disruptions.
The SISE integrates legal, policy, process, and technology together into a single platform that forms the trust framework. The SISE is the Sensitive Information Sharing Environment)

Operation Information Sharing Examples
The SISE provide industry with a safe, FOIA protected information sharing framework for both industry and government.
At the annual SISE-net Cross-Sector Operational Information Sharing Virtual Exercise held in July-Aug 2022 for hurricane season preparation, the states and industry representatives all agreed to focus on the following six (6) areas of information. Why? Because these areas are part of every major hurricane (or any disaster) that has them all sending thousands of duplicate emails to their contact to find the same information. Instead, by working together is a trusted crowdsourcing framework, they can reduce emails, save time, and get more timely and accurate information to support situational awareness and decision support. Today this is all being accomplished using a public website, private email lists of vetted users, and cell phone text chains of vetted users. In the near future, this will be moved into the SISE's MS-TEAM / ESRI based GIS platform that will:

Operational Problem Solving via Use Case Development Process
The Use Case Development Process adopted by the working groups of the All Hazards Consortium showcases the power of collaboration in tackling sector specific and cross-s sector operational problems.
By following a structured approach and tapping into the collective expertise of government and industry stakeholders, the groups have devised innovative solutions that bolster resilience and enhance response capabilities.
The tangible results produced through this process highlight its effectiveness in creating a safer and more prepared community.
As challenges continue to evolve, this collaborative approach will remain essential for ensuring that solutions are timely, effective, and sustainable.
