Private-Sector Partnerships
Partnership between HSEMD and Iowa’s key resource and critical infrastructure stakeholders has become an important initiative. HSEMD continues to expand on this relationship by teaming with the Iowa Business Council, the Business Executives for National Security and other state agencies to form the Safeguard Iowa Partnership.
The Safeguard Iowa Partnership (SIP) is a voluntary coalition of the state’s business and government leaders who share a commitment to combining their efforts to prevent, protect, respond to and recover from catastrophic events in Iowa. The statewide partnership is helping to integrate business resources, expertise and response plans with those of government during all stages of disaster management.
