The NHSC seeks to share timely information on model practices and lessons learned through regular meetings, teleconferences and topical webinars. Great value comes from learning about the different experiences, observations and perspectives from within the Consortium.
Membership in the NHSC is by invitation; however, the group welcomes opportunities to work with other stakeholders on issues of common interest. Contact NEMA as the administrative agent of the NHSC to propose homeland security policy related engagement. The NHSC would
like to acknowledge the support of the U.S. Department of Homeland
