System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders (SAVER) Fact Sheet

When first responders need reliable information about equipment, technologies and systems to inform their procurement decisions, their first stop should be the System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders (SAVER) program. Established and managed by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), SAVER provides objective, practitioner-relevant, and operationally focused assessments and validations of commercially available, emergency response equipment. The results of the assessments enable responders to better select, purchase, use and maintain emergency response equipment.
