The Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Database (HIFLD) Working Group is sponsored by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas' Security Affairs, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and Department of Homeland Security. The HIFLD was established in February 2002 to address identification, sharing and protection of homeland infrastructure geospatial information to be used for visualization and analysis on all classification domains. The HIFLD is a coalition of over 1,700 members, representing federal, state, and local government organizations, and supporting private industry partners. The HIFLD brings together geospatial data providers, users and geospatial expertise. HIFLD members are involved in a wide range of different functions including: Critical Infrastructure Protection, Risk Management, Decision Support, Crisis and Consequence Management, Threat Analysis, Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP), Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA), Man-Made and Natural Hazard Modeling, Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Continuity of Government (COG) Planning, and Government Facilities Management.
