Information sharing in a public–private partnership varies widely in practice. In addition to the more formal types of information sharing mentioned earlier, partners share information more informally. Partners may share lessons learned about preparation, response, and mitigation from recent incidents. Individual agencies or businesses may share their concerns or opinions on topics related to emergency management. All of these types of information sharing help to foster the collaboration that makes public–private partnerships successful.
