  6. Workshop Highlights: Incident Mgmt Joint US-Canadian Command Post Model Challenges: • Potential for political unease for non-resident country • Need for larger and more complex logistics/ICP • Difficulties in meshing different incident mgmt sys • Complexities in international equipment transport

  7. Workshop Highlights: Comms Communications Recommendations • Standardize communications plans • Improve understanding of cellular capabilities and deficiencies • Investigate info management tools to enhance voice, data, video transfer to share “Common Operating Picture”

  8. CANUSLANT 2007 Objectives(workgroup related) • Test Command Post Structure • Canadian’s Response Mgmt System • Enhanced Communications Capabilities • Joint Information Center (JIC) • Adequacy of Command Post Facility • Joint/Coordinated Incident Command • Environmental Objectives • Establish International Response Zone • Test Joint Environmental Section • Other objectives (not workgroup related) • Operational Deployment • Validate Customs & Immigration Procedures • Test Notification & Activation(pre-exercise)

  9. Lessons Learned (Command Post) • Info mgmt and comms needs at a major incident are substantial – need rapid IT support • Differences in the Canadian OSC's jurisdiction and incident management systems pose obstacles to forging effective joint ICP and require large facility. • Consider option of separate ICPs with joint JIC, strong liaison and joint mtgs. • Joint Environmental Section worked well

  10. Lessons Learned (JES) • Provide JES individual to support Planning Section and OSC and maintain JES connectivity • Lead and deputy assignments of JES will aid in direction and communications of JES • Update the JCP to reflect JES as best practice “Scientists and technical representatives from both countries readily found the concept of incorporating the Canadian REET and the U.S. Incident Command System version known as an Environmental Unit into one section to be highly advantageous and a best practice.”
