TRANSCRIPT
Hurricane Communications Planning Process- State LevelObjectives…
Identify current means of communications, including commercial means and how current commercial providers will fit into disaster response communications.
Identify communications needs as they relate to agency functions and disaster response- specifically, hurricane response.
Construct ICS 217A for involved agencies.
Construct communications plan (eventual end product).
Hurricane Communications Planning Process- State LevelAssumptions…
Communications will be mostly compartmentalized and point-to-point: team member to team member, team to team and specific person/position to specific person/position.
Even if it were a goal, everyone would not always be able to talk to everyone.
Everyone really doesn’t need to talk to everyone.
Hurricane Communications Planning Process- State Level Identify what resources are needed and available (either
immediately or after some time/process/steps) Identify what those resources currently use to
communicate. Identify which specific resources need to communicate
with other specific resources. Make assumptions about what of the above you will or
not be able to use in a disaster response- our case today, a hurricane response. These assumptions also feed your COOP/DR planning.

Hurricane Communications Planning Process- State LevelSummary:
A lot of our disaster communications at the state level will be dependent on:
SouthernLINC Use of the NIFOG for Land Mobile Radio
communications interoperability Compartmentalized communications capability (within
groups/group-to-group/point-to-point/individual-to-individual)
Satellite for point-to-point/PSTN interface
Hurricane Communications Planning Process- State LevelSummary: Sometimes interoperable communications does not
consist of trying to use technology to ‘patch’ disparate systems together, but rather trying to ensure point-to-point information flow while maintaining ‘within group/function’ communications ability and integrity.
On large-scale operations expect communications to be more compartmentalized and point-to-point oriented.

Identifies available radio frequencies for federal and non-federal responders to use for mutual aid on:
VHF UHF 700 MHz 800 MHz
including use in specific functions such as aviation, marine and SAR.
NIFOG Use
Most agencies will use the NIFOG to help identify radio frequencies that they will use to talk to one another.
It is important to get these frequencies programmed into your radio BEFORE a disaster.
