Surrey Local Resilience Forum Telecommunications Sub-Group Superintendent Sue Lampard
Telecommunications Sub-Group Team • Local Resilience Forum Business Support Group • Surrey Police • Surrey County Council
The start • Late! • Mainly Cat 1 responders • Not significant amounts of proactive involvement! • Civil Contingencies risk register unhelpful • Attended seminars like this • Looked at other telecoms plans
Our conclusion • Keep it simple • Plan for worst case scenario and work upwards • Design for practical use in the heat of the moment
Methodology • Defined communications methods across Cat 1 responders • Questioned what would happen if any/all of these methods became unavailable Which led to: • Communications matrix • Service degradation levels • Speed sheets
The plan • General introduction • Communications matrix • Service degradation levels • Speed sheets • Technical information (sat phones etc) • 43 pages – but actually simple!!
Speed sheets • Explanation • Advantages/ disadvantages • Impact • How to implement • MTPAS/FTPAS • BT Link Line • Technology (Sat Phone, VHF, Airwave, HITS, NRE) • RAYNET • IBIS (Airwave interoperability)
Next steps • LRF sign off for plan • MTPAS! • Workshop next month for next steps • Interagency testing programme • Training considerations • Continue to develop/update Telecoms Plan
Final thoughts • Issues with time – day job still exists! • Jargon! • Industry created! • But all the same – absolutely critical work!
