Our Mission
Our mission is to help industry and government work together to solve operational problems in natural disasters and now the COVID-19 pandemic for the overall public/private benefit.
We work directly with state/local governments, FEMA, DHS, and other federal agencies year round.
We also work with thousands of private sector companies and associations across multiple sectors including energy, communications, transportation, food, water, healthcare, finance, retail, and information technology
Currently the COVID-19 pandemic many of our stakeholders engaged in trying to find manufacturers and distributors of PPE suppliers and cleaning/disinfecting services.
Stories are everywhere about rip off artists using misleading websites to take advantage of well-meaning buyers of PPE.
As a result, the AHC has been commissioned by industry to create a 'trusted" community of nationwide PPE suppliers and available inventory for industry and government to use over the next 18-24 months..... or longer.
The SISE
The AHC operates the Sensitive Information Sharing Environment (SISE) which is a nationally recognized legal trust framework designed to support trusted information sharing between industry and government.
* The SISE has been used to share vetted information during a number of national disasters since 2013 including wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms and industrial accidents.
* The SISE is now activated for the COVID-19 pandemic and manages a national vetted information hub used by thousands of stakeholders at : https://ahc-covid19-ahc.hub.arcgis.com
* The SISE community is now developing a National PPE Exchange capability to connected vetted PPE suppliers with available inventory to potential customers in industry and government.
* The SISE is not a buying entity, only a trusted facilitator of people and information
The National PPE Exchange
With the current demand for PPE estimated to continue (and in some cases grow) over the next 18-24 months, industry and government organizations of all sizes are looking for a more trusted environment to reduce their risks when purchasing the following PPE items right now:
* Mask (all types, medical and non-medical)
* Gloves
* Gowns
* Face shields
* Hand Sanitizers
The PPE Exchange Program OpportunityWe want to invite you to participate in this National PPE Exchange program while it is developing over the next 45 days.
This program will provide several benefits to both suppliers and buyers:
