FB-ISAO leverages our broad, all-hazards, threat awareness to share open source information, original reports and analysis, and information shared through our trusted communities and partnerships - to include member collaboration - to help enhance members' threat awareness and to help inform risk management and operational activities.
Supporting a unified and coordinated operational effort integrating all members and critical stakeholders to support the capabilities required to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the community and as a part of "whole community" preparedness.
FB-ISAO works with members to share existing best practices and resources and to develop original references, guidance and tools to support our mission and members' needs. Additionally, FB-ISAO works with members to support preparedness activities, including planning, training, and exercise support.
FB-ISAO supports the National Preparedness Goal of: "A secure and resilient Nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk."
MISSION: The Faith-Based Information Sharing & Analysis Organization (FB-ISAO) provides members with information, analysis, and capabilities to help reduce risk while enhancing preparedness, security, and resilience.
We perform our mission across the all-hazards threat environment - including physical security, cybersecurity, public health, and natural disasters - by leveraging our team's expertise and extensive experience in preparedness, operations, and years of support to critical infrastructure information sharing and analysis centers (ISACs), combined with member collaboration and expertise, and through our unique relationships with government partners, the broader information sharing community, and other entities.
"Every segment of our society, from individual to government, industry to philanthropy, must be encouraged and empowered with the information it needs to prepare for the inevitable impacts of future disasters." - FEMA Strategic Plan
As part of our mission, FB-ISAO encourages members consider the hostile events / active shooter program and resources available through Gate 15 & The Power of Preparedness.
