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. |

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