Public-Private PartnershipsThe BENS Public-Private Partnership program designs and facilitates collaboration between business and government to help meet homeland security needs. BENS' partnership programs work to mobilize private-sector support for all-hazards preparedness and response efforts and to help communities bounce back from disasters. Across the country, our partnerships have made a real impact in helping communities and states handle a number of emergencies, including tornadoes, floods and wildfires. During these situations, businesses in our partnership programs provide needed resources – such as transportation or bottled water – to assist the government in relief efforts.
