When disaster strikes, stay open longer and reopen faster with this FREE app to share business status and needs

Concerned about your information confidentiality and security?  No need to worry!

SABER enrollment means your organization is expected to voluntarily provide outage, closure, and restoration information in an agreed upon format at intervals determined by the provider for the specific purpose of (a) determining the impact of disasters on the business community and (b) enabling effective and well-coordinated management of the disaster. 

All members are expected to process, handle, and disclose other members’ data using like or identical procedures as the member uses to process, handle, and disclose similar data owned or generated by the member. Public sector partners are expected to consume information to determine the impact of disasters on the business community and to perform disaster management activities.  Any consumer of business status may disclose information obtained through SABER to third parties including private sector members and the public.

Providers of information through SABER should have no expectation of privacy and are responsible for voluntarily submitting only information they wish to disclose.

Registration entitles SABER to announce to the public that organization as a SABER member. The data providing member is expected to review the list of SABER members (provided on the SABERspace.org website) and the data provider has sole responsibility for awareness of these SABER members.  ​
