TWG Portal Needs

• Gather technology requirements,
• Forum to share concepts and programs, and
• Tracking/coordination for programs across the
  county.
• An agency looking for existing modeling and
  simulation capability could consult with this Web
  site to determine if any solutions already exist
  or if other subscribers have similar requirements
  or solutions.
• Multiple modeling and simulation information
  portals exist at agencies such as the U.S.
  Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S.
  Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and in
  academia.
• However, selection and organization of content is
  not focused on public safety requirements.
• Additionally, there needs to be a vetting process
  for subscribers and content.
