Early Implementation

Decision making groups are informal, and do not yet have a strategic plan in place to guide collective communication interoperability goals and funding.

Region-wide SOPs were developed and formalized for the first time but have not been disseminated to all included agencies. Some elements of NIMS/ICS procedures for command and control are in place, but understanding caries among agencies and was an area of difficulty during exercise(s).

Interoperable communications solutions are rarely used for multi-agency communication and difficulties were encountered in achieving interoperability during exercise(s).

Established Implementation

Formal agreements outline the roles and responsibilities of a decision making group, which has an agreed upon strategic plan that addresses sustainable funding for collective regional interoperable communications needs.

Existing regional SOPs were reviewed and included in the TICP, and are in use by included agencies. NIMS-compliant command and control has been instituted by all agencies and disciplines in the region. Despite minor issues, all SOPs were successfully demonstrated during exercise(s).

First responders use interoperability solutions regularly and easily. The region demonstrated successful multi-agency (which may have included state, federal, and support organizations) communications during exercise(s).
