DHS FEMA RFI: National Office of Business, Industry, and Infrastructure Integration (NOB3I)

Notice ID:  70FA3124I00000010

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Business Emergency Operation Center (NBEOC) recognizes that emergency managers require a baseline of pre- and post-disruption conditions and the all-hazards impacts of a disaster to the natural, social, and economic environments. The impacts of hazards along with the potential need for logistics to support administration and distribution of supplies, requires enhanced analysis of business capabilities and capacities, and economic global environment. To facilitate the stabilization of community lifelines, close collaboration between FEMA NBEOC, other Federal agencies, and private sector leaders of business, industry, and infrastructure are necessary to protect citizens and rebuild communities.
