Important Update About the MRN Situational Awareness Dashboards

The Metropolitan Resilience Network can no longer provide free situational awareness dashboards to the metropolitan area as the Port Authority of NY & NJ has not continued funding for the MRN program. This service will be continued on a paid subscriber basis by Swan Island Network under its TX Global program. The free service will stop in July 2020. The good news is that TX Global will substantially upgrade your capabilities.

The Metropolitan Resilience Network (MRN) is an innovative public/private initiative hosted by the International Center for Enterprise Preparedness (InterCEP) at New York University and championed by the Port Authority of NY & NJ to enable more effective preparation for, response to and recovery from the ever increasing range of disruptions to the metro-New York region. It is designed to enable businesses, government and other stakeholders to effectively collaborate and bring together a range of capabilities, resources and intelligence to address shared threats such as severe weather, flooding, utility outages, cyber attacks, terrorism and other hazards.Some of the MRN’s core objectives include:

  • Providing a real-time communications & collaboration platform
  • Providing a “Common Operational Picture” of the region to improve situational awareness
  • Conducting senior staff face-to-face forums
  • Embedding the private sector in the Port Authority’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
  • “Best practice” resource sharing between businesses and government agencies
  • Developing and distributing an annual Global Risk Digest
  • Convening monthly risk briefings via web forums with key experts
  • Supporting joint public-private sector exercises
  • Undertaking special projects focused on common needs & challenges

The Metropolitan Resilience Network actively collaborates with key stakeholders from these communities.
