## Capability Specific Priorities:Strengthen Interoperable Communications Capabilities

**Juan Otero**
**Deputy Director, OIC and SAFECOM, Science and Technology Directorate**

## Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC)

**The Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC) was established to serve as the overarching office within DHS to strengthen and integrate interoperability efforts to improve local, tribal, state and federal public safety preparedness and response. OIC, as a practitioner-driven office, is strengthening public safety’s ability to work together to protect lives and property. The OIC’s three areas of focus:**
**Communications (SAFECOM)**
**Training **
**Equipment**

## What is Interoperable Communications?

**on demand **
**in real time **
**when needed**
**when authorized**

## Lack of Interoperability Impacts Communities

## Five Key Challenges

## Supporting the Interoperability Priority

**OIC interim frameworks that support the priority include:**
**Interoperability Continuum**
**Interoperability Baseline Initiative**
**Common Federal Grant Guidance**
**Statement of Requirements (SoR)**
**Acceleration of Standards Process**
**Statewide Communications Interoperability Planning (SCIP) Methodology**

## Interoperability Continuum

## Interoperability Baseline Initiative

## Guidance for Interoperability

**Grant Guidance**
**SAFECOM has provided common grant guidance to Federal agencies to assist in planning and implementing the community’s interoperability solutions.  Grant guidance provides Federal grant dollar criteria to avert the creation of public safety communications systems stovepipes at the local and state levels.**

## Statement of Requirements (SoR)

**Created to identify a basic set of functional and technological interoperable communications requirements for all disciplines in all jurisdictions to communicate and share information**
**Focus is initially on public safety first responders, i.e. Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS**
**Future versions will engage other stakeholders, i.e. Tribal, Federal, supplemental responders, and other agencies**
**Currently working on v1.1 to include additional functional requirements**

## Acceleration of Standards Process

**Lifecycle Approach to Standards Development:**

## SCIP Methodology

**SAFECOM recently released the Statewide Communications Interoperability Planning (SCIP) Methodology, a tool that outlines a step-by-step planning process for developing a locally-driven, statewide strategic plan to enhance communications interoperability.  The SCIP methodology is the result of a collaboration between SAFECOM and the Commonwealth of Virginia in its development of a strategic plan for improving statewide interoperable communications.**

**Kerry Thomas**
**Director, Technical Assistance Division, Office of State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness**

## Objectives

**Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TICP) Overview**
**Timeframe**
**HSGP requirements for a TICP for UASI locations and States**** **
**Metropolitan Areas**** **
**Helping these locations assess existing interoperable communications planning they have already undertaken or completed for incorporation into their TICPs**
**Interoperable Communications Technical Assistance Program (ICTAP)**
**Advising and supporting the locations, as request, on the interoperable communications aspects required in an exercise scenario for an IED incident**

## Tactical Interoperable Comms. Plan

***Defined as the rapid provision of on-scene, incident-based mission critical voice communications among all emergency responder (EMS, fire, and law enforcement) agencies, as appropriate for the incident, and in support of Incident Command and Operations Section personnel as defined in the NIMS model***
**Objective is to develop and test a plan to achieve adequate communication between incident commanders within an hour of an incident**
**Released in concert with the National Preparedness Guidance on April 1, 2005**
**Developed in coordination with the SAFECOM program**

## Timeframe

**Each urban area receiving FY05 UASI funds must develop a plan to achieve tactical interoperable communications across jurisdictions in the urban area and test the plan through the exercise activity required for the IED scenario. Each urban area has:**
**Six months to develop tactical interoperable communications plan**
**One year following plan submission to test it through multi-jurisdictional exercises**
**RapidCom 9/30 participants with previously developed plans need to submit and validate the plan through the exercise requirement**

## Metropolitan Areas

**If a state does not have a designated urban area, then it must identify a metropolitan area to develop and test the plan**
**Metropolitan area should be the same area tasked with developing a Multi-jurisdictional Prevention and Response Plan **
**Part of the HSPD-8 Implementation required by the FY05 HSGP guidance**

## Interoperable Communications Technical Assistance Program (ICTAP)

**Designed to enhance interoperable communications between local, state, and federal emergency responders and public safety officials**
**Goal is enable local public safety agencies to communicate as they prevent or respond to a CBRNE terrorist attack**
**Leverages other federal, state, and local interoperability efforts whenever possible to enhance state capacity for communication**
**All grantees are encouraged to request support through ICTAP**

## ICTAP Assistance Designated for TICP

**Three one-day regional training workshops on TICP Guidance in conjunction with the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Interoperable Communications Technology Program Workshop Series:**
**Western Region: April 13 in Denver, Colorado**
