Abstract
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announces that the Smart Connected Systems Division (SCSD) will hold a "Workshop on Whole Community Preparedness for Smart Cities and Communities" on August 27, 2024 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time and on August 28, 2024 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The primary purpose of this workshop is to define the acceptability, feasibility, and technical requirements for an integrated communications infrastructure to support community disaster planning and response and improve overall community resilience. Workshop outcomes will support SCSD work to define technology applications, analyses, key performance indicators, and adaptive decision architectures for public safety planning to more effectively respond to and recover from large-scale disasters and emergencies. Workshop participants will help NIST define the acceptability, feasibility, and general communications infrastructure to support community disaster planning and response and improve multi-agency crisis communications among local officials and community leaders during complex events. The workshop agenda will be posted on the NIST website at https:// www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2024/08/workshop-whole-community- public-safety-and-resilience-smart-cities.

SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
announces that the Smart Connected Systems Division (SCSD) will hold a
``Workshop on Whole Community Preparedness for Smart Cities and
Communities'' on August 27, 2024 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern
Time and on August 28, 2024 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
The primary purpose of this workshop is to define the acceptability,
feasibility, and technical requirements for an integrated
communications infrastructure to support community disaster planning
and response and improve overall community resilience. Workshop
outcomes will support SCSD work to define technology applications,
[[Page 67422]]
analyses, key performance indicators, and adaptive decision
architectures for public safety planning to more effectively respond to
and recover from large-scale disasters and emergencies. Workshop
participants will help NIST define the acceptability, feasibility, and
general communications infrastructure to support community disaster
planning and response and improve multi-agency crisis communications
among local officials and community leaders during complex events. The
workshop agenda will be posted on the NIST website at <a href="https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2024/08/workshop-whole-community-public-safety-and-resilience-smart-cities">https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2024/08/workshop-whole-community-public-safety-and-resilience-smart-cities</a>.
DATES: The NIST SCSD workshop will be held on Tuesday, August 27, 2024
from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time and on Wednesday, August 28,
2024 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The workshop requires
pre-registration and is open to the public. Registration will close on
Friday, August 23, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held at the George H.W. Bush School of
Government and Public Service of Texas A&M University, located at 1620
L St. NW, Washington, DC. The event will be conducted on-site only and
will not be accessible virtually.
Please note participation instructions under the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The goal of the NIST research effort is to
define a structure for community safety, security, economic vitality,
and overall community resilience through integration of advanced
technologies into city operations and infrastructure in smart connected
communities. Key to this approach is the inclusion of the resources,
capabilities and talent resident in the community, its civil
population, and the private sector. Outputs from the workshop will help
establish the technical and operational foundation for a ``whole
community approach'' to disaster preparedness and resilience. The
resulting system will be piloted in select smart cities and communities
and adopted as a foundation for public safety within the NIST Smart
Cities program. Following the workshop, NIST will publish a conference
report that will be made available to the public. The workshop agenda
will be posted on the NIST website at <a href="https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2024/08/workshop-whole-community-public-safety-and-resilience-smart-cities">https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/2024/08/workshop-whole-community-public-safety-and-resilience-smart-cities</a>.
Registration
All attendees are required to register to be admitted. The
registration page may be accessed at <a href="https://events.nist.gov/profile/33194">https://events.nist.gov/profile/33194</a> and requires participant's full name; email address; and
organizational affiliation. The workshop is being conducted for in-
person attendance only at the Bush School of Government and Public
Policy at 1620 L St. NW, Washington, DC. The building has controlled
access and will only be open for entry to the workshop from 8:00 a.m.
