During daily operations or in response to a natural or man-made incident, timely sharing of information in needed between:

• emergency operations centers, incident command centers, and mobile command centers
• joint information centers
• schools, shelters, hospitals and other key public facilities
• the general public

WebOSB directly supports the timely sharing of information between all of the components of a site's extended emergency response program. WebOSB has the ability to add, display, and update dynamic status information simultaneously at all locations involved in emergency management.

WebOSB allows a command center to create its own local Web site to support information sharing via the Internet. The designer has been developed to address security, data updates from multiple users, notification, and rapid implementation issues associated with the dissemination of highly dynamic information between multiple users and jurisdictions.

For more information, see the WebOSB flier. For detailed information on how WebOSB provides real-time support for the sharing of highly dynamic information, see WebOSB™ –Operational Status Boards.
