How C.O.R.E. Members Use HSIN to Strengthen Prevention, Response, and Recovery
The C.O.R.E. Institute invites K–12 and higher education administrators to schedule a direct demonstration of how C.O.R.E. utilizes the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) to connect critical stakeholders before, during, and after a school or campus-based critical incident. Demonstrations may be conducted on-site or through a scheduled virtual presentation.
Why This Matters
Today's school and campus safety environment requires more than isolated emergency plans, locked doors, camera systems, or individual agency readiness. Critical incidents demand a coordinated regional approach.
No single district, campus, institution, police department, or community partner can carry this responsibility alone.
C.O.R.E. exists to help build the trusted relationships, secure information-sharing pathways, and operational coordination needed to support prevention, response, reunification, and recovery.

The Role of HSIN
HSIN provides a secure, trusted information-sharing and collaboration environment that allows approved stakeholders to communicate, exchange information, maintain situational awareness, and coordinate mission-related activity across geographic and jurisdictional boundaries.
Prevention planning and threat assessment coordination
Cross-discipline stakeholder communication
Secure sharing of preparedness resources
Real-time coordination during critical incidents
Reunification and family assistance planning
Recovery operations and continuity support
After-action improvement and policy refinement
Demonstration Format
C.O.R.E. offers two flexible formats to meet your team where you are.
On-Site Demonstration
C.O.R.E. representatives meet directly with your leadership team, safety personnel, and selected partner agencies at your location. This format allows your team to discuss local needs, current safety structures, regional partner relationships, and how a HSIN-supported coordination model could strengthen your existing framework.
Virtual Presentation
A scheduled virtual presentation for administrators and selected stakeholders. Designed for executive-level review, leadership briefings, regional planning discussions, or early exploration before a more detailed implementation conversation.
Demonstration Focus Areas
Each demonstration covers four essential elements of school and campus safety.
1. Prevention
See how a C.O.R.E./HSIN-supported model connects stakeholders before an incident occurs — shared planning resources, threat assessment coordination, facility documentation, training calendars, behavioral health pathways, and partner directories. The goal: move from isolated preparedness to shared situational awareness and early intervention.
2. Stakeholder Relationship Building
C.O.R.E. emphasizes the critical relationship-building necessary before a critical incident occurs. When a crisis happens, stakeholders should not be meeting for the first time under pressure. C.O.R.E. helps identify the right partners, clarify roles, establish communication pathways, and build a coordinated network that can be activated when needed.
3. Response
See how HSIN-supported coordination assists during a critical incident — helping authorized partners share information, coordinate resources, access plans, and support a common operating picture. The goal is not to replace local command or 911, but to strengthen the coordination layer that allows multiple agencies to work together when seconds count.
4. Recovery
See how C.O.R.E. uses HSIN to support reunification, Family Assistance Centers, behavioral health coordination, continuity of operations, facility restoration, documentation, and after-action improvement. The goal: help districts and institutions recover with structure, compassion, accountability, and confidence.

Expected Outcomes
At the conclusion of the demonstration, participants will have a clearer understanding of:
What HSIN is and how it supports secure stakeholder coordination, communication, training, and collaboration
How C.O.R.E. uses HSIN to organize and guide prevention, response, and recovery partners
How schools and higher education institutions can identify the right internal and external stakeholders
What information, plans, resources, and protocols should be organized before a crisis
How administrators can begin preparing for participation in a C.O.R.E./HSIN-supported coordination model
Whether an on-site follow-up, stakeholder meeting, live exercise, or implementation discussion would be beneficial
Invitation
We invite your district, campus, institution, or agency to schedule a direct demonstration with C.O.R.E. The safety of students, staff, faculty, families, and communities is strengthened when trusted partners are connected before the crisis occurs. C.O.R.E.'s mission is to help build that connected framework so that prevention is stronger, response is faster, reunification is more organized, and recovery is more coordinated. We would welcome the opportunity to meet with your leadership team — on-site or virtually — to demonstrate how this model may support your existing safety, emergency management, and critical incident coordination efforts.
