<br />FY05 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM - VERSION 2.0, 12-22-2004 <br /> <br />Issues surrounding interoperable communications were consistent themes in <br />assessment data and homeland security strategies recently submitted to ODP by states <br />and urban areas. In an effort to address these issues, many states have been proactive <br />in developing statewide strategies or plans specific to the challenges of interoperable <br />communications, In addition, 10 urban areas recently participated in RapidCom 9/30, a <br />program implemented in FY04 to help ensure that incident commanders in these <br />localities have the ability to adequately communicate with each other and their <br />respective command centers within one hour of an incident. <br /> <br />Building on these successes, each urban area receiving FY05 UASI funds must <br />develop a plan to achieve tactical interoperable communications across <br />jurisdictions in the urban area and test the plan through the exercise activity <br />required for the lED scenario. Each state that does not have a designated urban <br />area(s) must use the same multi-jurisdictional metropolitan area or region designated to <br />test the prevention and response plans discussed in Section C: HSPD-8 Implementation <br />/ Preventing and Preparing for Terrorist Attacks Invo/ving Improvised Explosive Devices <br />on page 50. For the purposes of this requirement, tactical interoperable <br />communications is defined as the rapid provision of on-scene, incident-based mission <br />critical voice communications among all emergency responder (EMS, fire and law <br />enforcement) agencies, as appropriate for the incident, and in support of Incident <br />Command and Operations Section personnel as defined in the NIMS model. <br /> <br />Tactical interoperable communications may be provided through the use of common <br />equipment (common channels, cached radios or shared systems) or a gateway <br />between dissimilar systems andlor radio frequency bands; it may use fixed and/or <br />mobile/portable solution(s), Tactical interoperable communications must be rapidly <br />deployable at any time (24/7), and should be fully operational within an hour of an <br />incident occurring. The state and/or urban area must become familiar with the features <br />and problems that are inherent with the solution(s) they choose, Finally, no technical <br />solution will work without trained support staff. The state and/or urban area must ensure <br />that sufficient personnel are trained as Communications Unit Leaders, as defined within <br />NIMS, to support equipment deployment. <br /> <br />Similar to the lED requirement, ODP will release specific guidance on the tactical <br />interoperable communications requirement in concert with the SAFECOM Program <br />Office and the release of the National Planning Guidance in March 2005. Grantees will <br />have six months from the release of the guidance to develop the tactical interoperable <br />communications plan based on the template provided by ODP and developed with <br />SAFECOM, In order to make the most effective use of funding, tactical interoperable <br />communications plans should always be in support of long-term interoperability by <br />building upon or accelerating long-term strategies and efforts. The UASI jurisdictions <br />that developed plans as part of their participation in the RapidCom 9/30 initiative will <br />need to submit the plan developed as part of that process and validate that plan through <br />the exercise requirement. These communications plans should take into account the <br />State Homeland Security Strategies and Urban Area Homeland Security Strategies that <br />have been submitted and are currently being implemented. Grantees will have one <br /> <br />DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY I OFF(CE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS <br /> <br />52 <br /> <br />
