Background
Mutual Aid and Crisis Management Systems (MACM) in the Emergency Management Enterprise (EME) suffer from a lack of use of interoperability and information exchange standards for system to system interoperability. To address this need, NAPSG Foundation developed a Implementation Guidance on Information Sharing Standards for Crisis Management and Mutual Aid Technology as a simple guide on choosing the appropriate information standard for a given need, as well as, identify some key aspects for communicating that information between systems.
The target audience and users of this Implementation Guidance are two-fold:
- Build basic knowledge among Public Safety Leaders responsible for communicating requirements to technology providers in building and deploying solutions
- Provide technical guidance on relevant standards for Technologists/Vendors developing crisis management and mutual aid technology-based systems and solutions
As a reminder, all comments should be sent via the form linked above to comments@publicsafetygis.org by May 22.
