NECP Goal 2Presentation to the Seattle UASI WGFebruary 16, 2010 Alan H. Komenski SIEC Project Manager/State Interoperability Coordinator Washington State Patrol
National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP) • NECP Overview and Background • NECP Implementation • NECP 2010 Update • NECP Goal 1 • NECP Goal 2
National Emergency Communications Planlan • In Title XVIII of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Congress directed OEC to develop the NECP (in coordination with public / private stakeholders) • The NECP identifies the capabilities and initiatives needed for communications operability, interoperability, and continuity of communications for emergency responders nationwide • These will be familiar to you from the Interoperability Continuum
National Emergency Communications Plan Vision – Emergency responders can communicate as needed, on demand, as authorized; at all levels of government; and across all disciplines • Released July 2008 – with 2010 Update • Developed in coordination with 150+ representatives from all major public safety organizations and private sector • Addresses operability, interoperability, continuity • First National Strategic Plan • 3 Performance-based Goals • 7 Objectives that set priorities • 92 Milestones to track progress • Implementation • Build capability/capacity (governance, exercises, SOP, usage) • National Assessments • Target resources (funding, technical assistance, training)
NECP Goals • Goal 1: Urban Areas • By 2010, 90 percent of all high-risk urban areas designated within the Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) are able to demonstrate response-level emergency communications within one hour for routine events involving multiple jurisdictions and agencies • All 60 UASIs demonstrated at varying levels • Seattle UASI performance measured during the 2010 Seafair event • Goal 2: Counties and County-Equivalents • By 2011, 75 percent of non-UASI jurisdictions are able to demonstrate response-level emergency communications within one hour for routine events involving multiple jurisdictions and agencies • Goal 3: All Jurisdictions • By 2013, 75 percent of all jurisdictions are able to demonstrate response-level emergency communications within three hours, in the event of a significant incident as outlined in national planning scenarios
NECP Goal 2 NECP Goal 2 By 2011, 75 percent of non-UASI jurisdictions are able to demonstrate response-level emergency communications within one hour for routine events involving multiple jurisdictions and agencies.
NECP Overview and Background NECP Goals • Two types of data to be collected: • Performance (response-level incident data) • Capabilities (based on Interoperability Continuum lanes) • Observations of routine multi-agency response emergency, planned events, or exercise • Multi-agency • Multi-jurisdictional
NECP Goal Measurements for Counties • Two types of data to be collected: • Performance (response-level incident data) • Capabilities (based on Interoperability Continuum lanes) • County Level • Comprehensive look at emergency communications in the U.S. • Identify emergency communications needs at the local levels • Common geographical measurement area for establishing the new baseline • Tribal data • OEC will reach out directly to Federally-recognized Tribes • Counties do not need to collect Goal 2 data from Tribes
Goal 2 Capability Data a • Questions are based on past efforts: • SAFECOM Continuum • 2006 Baseline Survey • TICP Initiative • Results should be generalized for the entire county and county-equivalent • Questions focus on: • Governance • SOPs • Technology • Training & Exercise • Usage
Governance – The Decision Making Groups What are we measuring: The formality of and level of participation in interagency partnerships, forums, or governing bodies established to address common interoperability interests in the area.
SOPs – Policies, Practices, and Procedures What are we measuring: The level of adequacy, participation in developing, and consistency of formalized SOPs to address common interoperability interests in the area.
Technology – Standards and Emerging What are we measuring: The technology standards and equipment that are being utilized to effectively provide interagency communications in the area.
Training and Exercise What are we measuring: The availability and regularity of training and exercise programs for communications interoperability.
Usage – Frequency of Use and Familiarity What are we measuring: Ease and regularity of using interagency communications technologies and procedures within the area and across all types of events, including day-to-day, task force, and mutual aid operations.
Goal 2 Performance Data • Counties can use a variety of methods to measure performance: • Real World Incidents • Planned Events • Exercises • Counties can use incidents, events, and exercise dating back to July 2008 • Criteria is same as used for Goal 1 UASI observations and focuses on 3 key areas: • Common Policies & Procedures • Leadership Roles & Responsibilities • Quality & Continuity of Communications • Performance Guide
Goal 2 Considerations 23 • Two Types of Data to Assess • Capability • Performance • Use of Exercises or Pre-Planned Events • Consideration for “Significant Participation” • Involvement of Multiple Jurisdictions • A web-based reporting tool is available to collect and submit results to the SWIC. • https://franz.spawar.navy.mil/ • Paper forms are also available
Resources: 24 • Outreach Materials • State Fact Sheet • State Goal 2 PowerPoint • Guidance Documents • County Capabilities Report on Interoperable Communications • Response-Level Communications Evaluation Form
Goal 2 Implementation Timeline • Dates and milestones for Goal 2 collection • Kick off meeting - January 21 • Response-Level Communications Workshop • (If needed TBD, probably March) • Response-Level Communications Training Webinars • Various dates beginning January 25 through late August • Deadline for counties to submit data to SWIC – September 15
