Response vendors on standby nearby
North America Mode selects all three countries at once, so you are viewing the full continental network. Response here isn't siloed by border: CIFFC already coordinates wildfire mutual aid with U.S. and Mexican counterparts, and service providers tagged in this network can be matched across any of the three countries. Deselect a country above to narrow back down.

Who this is for
Government Agency
Size any scenario against real planning ratios, see what it would cost, and request providers directly.
- Free, always. There is no cost to any government agency, at any level, in any country.
- Approved automatically if you sign up from a recognised government domain —
.gov,gc.ca,gob.mx,gov.ukand the rest. Confirmation happens at first sign-in. - No personal information is collected. No name, no phone number, no date of birth. The only thing asked for is the agency address that carries your approval.
- Size the response against the people affected, how fast you need resources on scene, and how long the operation runs.
- Talk to someone whenever you want — a walkthrough can be scheduled once registration is complete.
Private Sector Responder
List what you can field, and see what responding to government contracts could be worth.
- Free, always. No cost to list, no commission, no subscription — for businesses of any size.
- No email or personal information is collected at all. You get a Field Code instead of an account, and it stays on your device.
- Describe real capability: what you can field, how fast you can be on scene, and how long you can sustain without resupply — the three things agencies screen on first.
- Be matched to agency requests in the coverage area and response types you select.
- See the value of a contract per day, per deployment, and across a year before you commit to anything.

Emergency scenario
Migration / Displacement is a reception and care scenario: shelter, health screening, water and food, and transport between sites. The agencies listed for it are the bodies that receive and provide for people who have arrived — HHS/ORR, IRCC, INM and COMAR. Border enforcement agencies are deliberately not listed, because matching shelter, medical and logistics providers to an enforcement operation is not what this network is for.
Migration / Displacement covers the humanitarian side of a large arrival or displacement: reception, shelter, health screening and onward transport. The agencies listed for it are the reception-and-care bodies — ORR, IRCC, INM and COMAR. Border enforcement agencies are deliberately not listed, because what this network matches is shelter, medical and logistics capacity, not enforcement. Cyber / AI covers loss of control systems, networks or automated decision systems; the two AI institutes shown are standards and evaluation bodies rather than responders, and a real incident is run through the cyber centres and the emergency-management chain.

NIFC Geographic Area Coordination Centers (GACCs)used for wildfire coordination instead of the standard 10 regions

FBI organizes by 56 individual field offices covering specific counties, not by regional zones — the regions above are a general reference, not FBI's actual structure.
USACE organizes into 8–9 divisions defined by watershed boundaries, not state lines — they don't align with the regions above, which are a general reference, not USACE's actual structure.
GSA's 11 regionsused instead of the standard 10 for logistics/property matters
USDA's structure is fragmented across many sub-agencies with their own separate regional maps (Forest Service, Food and Nutrition Service, and others), and is itself mid-reorganization toward 5 regional hubs as of 2025 — the regions above are a general reference, not USDA's actual structure.

CIFFC coordinates through direct province/territory member agencies (13 in total) rather than a fixed regional map — the regions above are a general reference, not CIFFC's actual structure.
The Office of Refugee Resettlement sits in the Administration for Children and Families at HHS and was created by the Refugee Act of 1980. It works through a national network of state programs and contracted providers rather than its own regional offices — the regions above are a general reference, not ORR’s actual structure.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada administers resettlement and asylum and funds settlement services through several hundred partner organisations; Quebec runs its own selection and settlement stream under a separate accord. The regions above are a general reference, not IRCC’s actual structure.
The Instituto Nacional de Migración regulates entry, stay and exit and operates migration offices across the country, concentrated on the southern and northern borders rather than spread evenly — the zones above are a general reference, not INM’s actual structure.
The Comisión Mexicana de Ayuda a Refugiados processes refugee status applications. Its offices follow where claims are actually made — Tapachula and the southern border, Mexico City, Palenque, Monterrey and Tijuana — not a population-based map, so the zones above are a general reference, not COMAR’s actual structure.
CERT-MX, the Centro Nacional de Respuesta a Incidentes Cibérneticos, sits in the Guardia Nacional’s Dirección General Científica and operates as a single national centre with no regional tier — the zones above are a general reference, not CERT-MX’s actual structure.
CAISI, the Center for AI Standards and Innovation (renamed from the U.S. AI Safety Institute in 2025), sits inside NIST. It is a standards, testing and evaluation body — not an incident-response agency. An AI-driven incident with physical consequences is responded to through CISA and the emergency-management chain; CAISI is listed here because it is the body that sets the evaluation standards, and it has no regional offices at all.
The Canadian Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute, announced in November 2024, is led by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada with the National Research Council and CIFAR. Like its U.S. counterpart it is a research and evaluation body, not an incident responder, and is centralized with no regional tier. Note both countries’ AI institutes abbreviate to CAISI; they are separate organisations.
The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security operates as a single centralized national body with no regional tier — the regions above are a general reference, not its actual structure.
CNSC's regional presence follows nuclear facility locations (Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, plus site offices at each power plant), not a population-based regional map — the regions above are a general reference, not CNSC's actual structure.
Consejo Nacional de Protección Civil zonesSINAPROC's own map. None of Mexico's other listed agencies use this exact structure (select one to see its own).

CENAPRED is a single centralized technical/research body headquartered in Mexico City with no regional office network — the zones above are a general reference, not CENAPRED's actual structure.
CONAFOR coordinates through its own network of regional and state forestry management offices, not the Consejo Nacional de Protección Civil's 5 zones — the zones above are a general reference, not CONAFOR's actual structure.
CNSNS is centralized with no regional office structure — the zones above are a general reference, not CNSNS's actual structure.
SEMARNAT maintains one federal representative office in each of Mexico's 32 states rather than grouping into 5 zones — the zones above are a general reference, not SEMARNAT's actual structure.
Health delivery is organized into local "jurisdicciones sanitarias" within each state, and the national health council separately groups states into 4 regions for its own purposes — neither matches the 5 zones above, which are a general reference only.

Response scenario
Categories follow the sectors used in international humanitarian coordination — the UN cluster system, which has been used in more than 60 countries — so a responder in any country can describe what they bring in terms an agency anywhere else recognises.
How these map to national schemesIn the United States these correspond to the 15 Emergency Support Functions (ESF 1–15) of the National Response Framework, coordinated by FEMA: Transportation ESF 1, Communications ESF 2, Public Works & Engineering ESF 3, Firefighting ESF 4, Emergency Management ESF 5, Mass Care & Housing ESF 6, Logistics ESF 7, Public Health & Medical ESF 8, Search & Rescue ESF 9, Hazmat ESF 10, Agriculture ESF 11, Energy ESF 12, Public Safety ESF 13, Cross-Sector Business ESF 14, External Affairs ESF 15. Internationally the closest equivalents are the UN clusters — Health (WHO), Logistics (WFP), Shelter, Food Security, Water & Sanitation, Emergency Telecommunications, Protection, Camp Coordination, Nutrition, Education and Early Recovery. Canada and Mexico don't publish an equally granular numbered breakdown, so their agency assignments below follow real departmental mandate.

Why American E
The problem: government agencies and their emergency procurement contracts — even paired with the large businesses that also hold emergency-services contracts — aren't always positioned to respond fast. Big providers are built for scale and sustained operations, not the first critical hours of an incident.
The solution: American E closes that gap. Independent Emergency Response Vendors already positioned on the ground respond immediately, giving your team in-house, on-site situational awareness from the start, while larger business providers stand up the long-term, sustained response behind them.
The cost benefit: Emergency Response Vendors bring their own capacity and expertise across whatever disaster type is active, so your agency isn't locked into contracts it only needs occasionally. That capacity stays in motion against real threats instead of sitting idle, and the same network can respond to multiple emergencies at once.
