Statewide Communications Planning Methodology (SCIP)

The Statewide Communications Planning Methodology (SCIP) describes a step-by-step process for developing a locally-driven statewide strategic plan for enhancing communications interoperability. As noted, the methodology is based on the efforts employed by the Commonwealth of Virginia, with support from the Department of Homeland Security’s SAFECOM Program, in developing their Strategic Plan for Statewide Communications Interoperability.
