The sustainability of the Data Integration Project is dependent on resources made available to it.

Data Producers are not only the member organizations that supply the maintained data, but also provide the network of enthusiasm and common ground that drives the integration process on many levels.

Supporters have played a vital role in providing the necessary start-up resources of software contributions and initial funding.

Sponsors are currently an un-tapped resource of organizations and individuals that have realized a value to the data and services freely provided to the public via the Internet. Although the primary purpose of the Data Integration Project is to integrate data for emergency planning, sponsors have found their own uses for the information and recognize a common interest in supporting the project as a whole.
