Businesses and governments alike understand the value of planning for continuity of operations. Too often, however, that planning is done in isolation – within a company, by industry sector, or by government alone. The very best business continuity planning by an individual company is for naught if the community around that business cannot function after a disaster. Likewise, government faces an impossible task in effectively providing all phases disaster management alone given that the private sector controls 85-90 percent of the nation’s critical infrastructure. In recognition of this inter-dependency across organizations and between public and private sectors, the Colorado partnership’s work reflects the importance of joint planning, practice, and ongoing collaboration to ensure continuity of community.

The Colorado Emergency Preparedness Partnership is a collaborative enterprise created by the Denver InfraGard Members Alliance (IMA), the Denver Police Foundation, Business Executives for National Security and the Philanthropy Roundtable (see accomplishments). It is a broad coalition to implement a voluntary, all-hazards partnership between business and government and, to date, is the product of many Colorado partners including leaders of the philanthropic community, federal, state and local agencies, business, academia, and US Northern Command.  It is a new organization aimed at bringing the private sector to the table in a streamlined fashion for emergency preparedness and homeland security planning and to help smooth lines of communication between and across the public, private and non-profit sectors. By working together, we will strengthen Colorado’s ability to mitigate the impact of catastrophic events and help ensure the safety of Colorado citizens and the resiliency of its economy.
