• Goal 3- By 2013, 75 percent of all jurisdictions are able to demonstrate response-level emergency communications within three hours, in the event of a significant incident as outlined in national planning scenarios. In addition, the NECP includes the following milestones as recommended actions for the States to consider as they implement their SCIPs: ¦ Milestone 1: Within 12 months, all States and territories should establish full-time SWICs or equivalent positions. ¦ Milestone 2: Within 12 months, Statewide Interoperability Governing Bodies (SIGB) or their equivalents, in all 56 States and territories should incorporate the recommended membership as outlined in the SCIP Guidebook and should be established via legislation or executive order by an individual State's governor. ¦ Milestone 3: Within 12 months, tactical planning among Federal, State, local, and tribal governments occurs at the regional interstate level. ¦ Milestone 4: Within 12 months, all IECGP investments are coordinated with the SWIC and Statewide Interoperability Governing Body (SIGB), or its equivalent, to support State administrative agency investments including the filling of gaps as identified in the NECP and SCIPs. ¦ Milestone 5: Within 12 months, all Federal, State, local, and tribal emergency response providers within UASI jurisdictions have implemented the Communications and Information Management section of the National Incident Management System (NIMS). ¦ Milestone 6: Within 18 months, DHS develops training and technical assistance programs for the National Interoperability Field Operations Guide (NIFOG) and programs an appropriate set of frequency-band-specific nationwide interoperability channels into emergency response radios that are manufactured or purchased through Federal funding as a standard requirement. ¦ Milestone 7: Within 24 months, all SCIPs reflect plans to eliminate coded substitutions throughout the Incident Command System (ICS), and agencies incorporate the use of existing nationwide interope rability channels into Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), training, and exercises at the Federal, State, regional, local, and tribal levels. ¦ Milestone 8: Within 24 months, complete disaster communications training and exercises for all 56 States and territories. ¦ Milestone 9: Within 24 months, all Federal, State, local, and tribal agencies in UASIs have defined alternate/backup capabilities in emergency communications plans. 3 55A-9
