Established in July 2010, the National Council of Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (NCSWIC) assists State and territory interoperability coordinators with promoting the critical importance of interoperable communications and the sharing of best practices to ensure the highest level of interoperable communications across the nation. NCSWIC members are composed of Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (SWICs) from the 56 States and territories. In this key role, SWICs leverage their relationship with partners involved in responding to disasters at all levels of government to advance long-term emergency communications initiatives. NCSWIC members strive to enhance the response capabilities of public safety responders by coordinating and collaborating with Federal, State, local, Tribal and non-governmental public safety responder agencies. As such, the SWIC contributes to the development and maintenance of:

• Governance structures across all disciplines and levels of government;
• Standard operating procedures;
• Voice and data technologies;
• Training and exercises;
• Outreach and education materials
• Funding and grant opportunities, and
• Emergency communications policies, plans, and services.
