Agenda • Goals & Objectives • Guiding Principles • TICP Preparation • CASM Data Entry • The Big Picture • Next Steps • Questions & Answers
Goals & Objectives • Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TICP) Preparation • Assist and support Districts in District-level TICP preparation • Document communications governance structures within each District • Create a document that is informative and educational that doesn’t just collect dust on a shelf • Enhance the TICP by integrating useful features and shortcuts that allow for easier updates • CASM Data Entry Project • Validate CASM Data already in the system • Data Entry of CASM Data that needs to be in the system
Workload for Agencies Guiding Principles • Usability of Tools
TICP Preparation • The TICP is designed to help you: • Establish and maintain routine communications interoperability • Maintain emergency communications in the event of a catastrophic situation • Base Plan • Administrative and technical aspects of routine and emergency interoperability • Contents common to all Districts • District Plan (Appendix) • Data needed to achieve emergency interoperability and backup • Majority of data will be taken from CASM
TICP Preparation (cont.) • Base Plan • Statewide resources and governance information • Definitions of various interoperable equipment • Policies and procedures for the use of this equipment • Potential use of tools such as netPlanner,WebEOC, CASM • Standard templates and forms for communications and assets • Less district impact with a separate Base Plan • IPSC/SIEC updates only the Base Plan instead of ten District Plans whenever statewide changes are needed
TICP Preparation (cont.) • District Plans • The District Plans are stand-alone appendices of the larger Base Plan • Contain district-specific information that may change more frequently than Base Plan content • Overview of district including transportation, major facilities, events, and geographical composition • District and communications points of contact (POC) • Listing and description of shared channels, systems, frequencies, and talk groups • Data tables of various communications assets including Radio Caches, Gateway Systems, and other interoperable equipment
CASM Data Entry • CAS– Database to store all assets across the state that links user agencies with those assets • CAM – Mapping tool that places information from CAS into a state view. Interoperability can be mapped between agencies or geographies.

Next Steps • October/November • Contact SIEC members for District-level communications governance structure • Contact Agency Points of Contact to validate CASM data • Produce draft TICPs for Districts • December/January • CASM webinars for each District • Finalize TICPs with Districts
