Project Mission Statement To develop a Regional Public Safety Communications plan that details the use of existing and new communications systems that will support a coordinated multi-disciplined response from local, state and federal agencies to day-to-day and major incidents.

Slide8: 

The Multi-Agency Coordination System (MACS) A combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures and communications integrated into a common system with responsibility for coordination of assisting agency resources and support to agency emergency operations. (California Firescope Field Operations Guide ICS 420-1)

Slide9: 

Scope of the Project The project will focus initially on the Golden Gate Bridge region of the San Francisco Bay Area (Phase 1). This will include selected local, state and federal agencies within Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Alameda Counties. (Phase 2) Once the initial plan has been developed and field-tested, it will be expanded to include all of the counties surrounding the San Francisco Bay and Delta.

Slide17: 

Non-Government Organizations Collaboration The University of San Francisco’s College of Professional Studies has agreed to support this Project. They will pursue grant funding and administer those Grants in support of non-government organizations assistance to the public safety agencies in achieving the goals and objectives of the project.

Slide18: 

Concept of Development The plan will address the ability to communicate at three levels of response and management,with a variety of communications means. These levels will move information vertically and horizontally within the Standardized Emergency Management System/Incident Command System (SEMS/ICS) currently utilized by responding Public Safety Agencies.

Slide19: 

LEVELS OF RESPONSE and MANAGEMENT Local/Operational Area Regional State and Federal

Slide20: 

Local/Operational Area Radio Spectrum (UHF/VHF,800MHz, etc.) Phones (hard-line/wireless) (conference and teleconference calls), Pagers (Alphanumeric), SatCom (Commercial and OASIS), Internet (Wired and Wireless, with GIS Mapping), Management Software-RIMS/E-Team, etc.)

Slide23: 

Development Process A Regional Public Safety Interoperable Communications Planning Group has been established to develop and support the various subcommittees that will work on specific areas of the plan.

Slide24: 

SUBCOMMITTEES: Plan Content Training Governance Policy and Agreements Needs Assessment Technologies Funding and Grants

Slide25: 

Plan Content. This group will be responsible for writing the actual plan. They will provide an initial concept of operations to focus the development of the plan. They will develop a time-line for the planning process. They will coordinate plan reviews and revisions.

Slide26: 

(DRAFT) GOLDEN GATE REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS INTEROPERABILITY PLAN

Slide28: 

Training This group will develop a strategy for initial and sustained training to support implementation of the plan. The initial training will include a series of Tabletop, Command Post and Field Training Exercises; the first series will determine a baseline of current capabilities. Subsequent training exercises will compare capabilities as plan is implemented.

Slide29: 

Governance This group will research and make recommendations as to the establishment of a Governance Body which will oversee the project and assist in the official implementation of the plan. This subcommittee may eventually merge with the Policy and Agreements group.

Slide30: 

Needs Assessment Selected jurisdictions will execute a survey of existing systems and needs using the the AGILE Assessment Tool. This group will review and consolidate those assessments.

Slide31: 

Policy and Agreements This group will research and develop Letters of Agreement, MOUs, and other documents as needed to execute the plan.

Slide32: 

Technologies Small groups focusing on the technical and operational issues unique to each communications category: o                    Radio Spectrum o                    Telephone o                    Internet (Wired) o                    Internet (Wireless) o                    GIS Mapping

Slide33: 

Funding & Grants This group will develop and coordinate funding sources as needed. Government Agency Grants (FY 2004 Commerce-Justice-State Appropriations Bill) vs. Non-Government Agency Grants (MOU between OES and USF)
