What Does it Mean to Be a Partner?

National security is everyone’s business. With this in mind, the Colorado Emergency Preparedness Partnership does not charge membership dues or require any payment for an organization to become involved. Our Partners have all made commitments to play a role in strengthening our region’s collective capacity to prevent, respond to, and recover from natural and human-caused disasters through effective public-private collaboration. Each Partner brings something unique to CEPP – some lead working groups, some have donated facilities for our events, some provide subject matter expertise and others provide valuable resources that can be tapped in the event of a disaster. The sharing of information between our members is an invaluable way for us all to serve – by bringing private sector experience and solutions to the challenges facing our public sector partners, we can work together on securing a stronger, safe Colorado.

The goal of having a diverse group of stakeholders as Partners is to begin a permanent dialog in Colorado between private sector leaders in our community and those entities working on Emergency Preparedness and Homeland Security efforts. It is our hope that you will join us in the collaborative effort in securing our great nation and our State and creating a more resilient community.
