| Abstract |
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) and Canada Department of National Defence's Centre for Security Science conducted its fifth Canada-U.S. Enhanced Resiliency Experiment (CAUSE V) on November 15 – 16, 2017 along the border between the Canadian province of British Columbia and the state of Washington. The experiment tested emerging technologies to promote more effective communication and information sharing for emergency management officials and first responder agencies on both sides of the border in response to a Mt. Baker volcanic eruption and lahar mudflow scenario. The CAUSE V experiment explored the use of trained digital volunteers to provide operational and public information support to emergency management professionals. These digital volunteers were assigned to monitor simulated social media platforms, identifying information according to pre-assigned mission assignments, including misinformation and rumor control, and reporting this information to emergency management officials and first responder agencies. Researchers from the University of Washington were in attendance to specifically observe the efforts of the digital volunteers during the experiment. Research observations, and the benefits of integrating the research and practitioner communities, will be highlighted on the poster. |

| Abstract |
The purpose of this paper is to provide and recommend a strategic approach for implementation of information sharing initiatives. While such an approach offers a number of benefits, as a primary benefit, it provides a way to measure and monitor the performance of such initiatives, irrespective of their scope, whether they are regional, state, or federal efforts. The first section of the paper presents a framework for alignment among information sharing initiatives; the second section builds on this framework and outlines a roadmap for an assessment methodology for such initiatives. |
