Situational Awareness - NC4's Risk Center and Mission Center operate out of the NC4 International Monitoring Centers (NIMCs) located in El Segundo, California and Merrifield, Virginia. The NIMCs house the real-time and analytical teams. The real-time analysts monitor global events 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, issuing alerts delivered based on proximity to users' fixed assets. The regional analytical team works to improve risk mitigation programs and travel safety by providing political, economic, and security analysis for each of five regions (Europe/Central Asia, East Asia/Oceania, Latin America, Middle East/North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa).[1]
Situational Response - E Team is an incident management system that provides a common platform for organizations to assist in incident response and recovery, as well as to allow for cross-jurisdictional collaboration.[2]
