The site and email list were established in 2006 to provide an easy, informal means of communication about disaster response and other public safety communications topics. The site/list facilitates conversations and data exchange between private and public sectors, between different cities and between community groups working on public safety issues. This is a forum for the exchange of info about best practices, community-driven ideas, new technology and new concepts.
