Community Mission
The SAME Resilience Community of Interest (COI) directly supports the second goal of the 2025 SAME Strategic Plan to “Build and Sustain Resilient Communities.” This effort is conducted through support to Posts and as national initiatives that contribute to government and private sector collaboration, helping to minimize the impacts of and enhance effective response and recovery to natural and man-made threats.
COI Objectives
- Leverage local, regional, national, and international partnerships to educate and train members and stakeholders on infrastructure risks, mitigation efforts, and joint response strategies to natural and man-made events.
- Utilize SAME’s multidisciplinary network to connect and educate stakeholders on new and existing technologies and to develop solutions to problems across critical infrastructure sectors.
- Promote partnerships and collaboration supporting the needs of military installations in pursuit of mission assurance and readiness (such as energy, water, and industrial control system cyber security).
- Utilize SAME’s national relationships and local Posts to furnish vertical collaboration between all levels of government and private business.
- Lead collaboration to advocate for streamlined acquisition and implementation of resilience solutions.
