About
Launched in June 2012, the National Information Sharing Consortium (NISC) strives to improve the state of public safety and emergency management information sharing and interoperability through its commitment to four areas of responsibility—sharing, connecting, innovating, and leading. No single function is performed in isolation—they are all interconnected, collectively enabling the NISC to foster capacity building to all of our members on multiple levels.
As an independent consortium, the NISC brings together organizations involved in all aspects of homeland security, public safety, emergency management and emergency response. Our members come together to improve technology and governance related to information sharing. By working together they are able to leverage each other’s experiences to save resources and collaborate on building new solutions and best practices.
Our Vision
- Common, shared situational awareness capabilities will exist in every state, territory, and the District of Columbia.
- Information will be found, discovered, and shared effortlessly across all levels of government.
- Every community across the nation will be resilient in the face of disaster or emergency.
Our Values
- Excellence: Service, Practice, and Leadership...
- Diversity: Profession, Jurisdiction, Geographic...
- Integrity: Professionalism, Commitment, and Loyalty...
- Dedication: Courage, Resolve, and Passion...
...to help save lives, reduce human suffering, better protect property, and build a safer, more secure nation.
