Collaboration and coordination are essential to ensure that incidents either do not occur (non-events), or are contained early enough to "substantially mitigate negative consequences". This paper considers the maritime environment, the multiplicity of agencies and information sources, the opportunities offered by social media, and the need to move away from rigid hierarchical command and control systems. The paper also features historical examples of cooperation that worked (breaking Enigma code) and one that did not (Pearl Harbor).
