Abstract: The FRCoP web-based tool collects profile information from first responders and select authorized non-first responder users to facilitate networking and formation of online communities. All users are required to authenticate prior to entering the site. In addition, the tool provides members the capability to create wikis, discussion threads, blogs, and documents allowing them to enter and upload content in accordance with the site's Rules of Behavior. Members are also able to participate in threaded discussions and comment on other member's content. The S&T FRCoP program is responsible for providing a collaborative environment for the first responder community to share information, best practices, and lessons learned. Section 313 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (PL 107-296) established this requirement.
