IAN staff is experienced in helping communities work with the private sector to plan and implement their continuity planning and development.  This includes a review of how economic development and sustainability objectives can be supported and funded by both public and private sector sources.  IAN works with leading practitioners across various economic, infrastructure and technical fields to maximize the possibilities for local communities.

Business Continuity Networks(TM): An example is the strategy that IAN proposes that locates Business Continuity Parks(TM) in rural areas that support urban area businesses and government agencies so that rural infrastructure can be sustainably funded by urban area users.  

IAN staff actively participates in InfraGard National and its EMP Special Interest Group founded by Charles Manto.
