communication resources.

Presentation Overview: Presentation of Statewide programs
IREACH What is it and how do we use it ?
Wrap-up and Questions
5Slide 5
Statewide Communications Strategy
…is to provide a statewide warning and interoperable emergency communications system designed to support local emergency operations and yet be flexible enough to respond to multiple emergencies throughout the state…..
...and is based on the following premises….
6Slide 6
A variety of communications systems are in place and operational.
Enhancement of these systems will improve their effectiveness and ensure immediate statewide interoperability.
7Slide 7
Communications resources , including frequencies, should be based on mission assignments, rather than assigned to individual departments.
8Slide 8
Initial response to a terrorism event, as with all emergencies and disasters is local…. Systems must be built to provide initial
immediate support to the concept of unified incident command. As additional resources are brought to the scene, communications capabilities must rapidly expand based on mission assignments.
9Slide 9
All communications covered by the strategy are based on an “all hazards” approach….
…The communications systems can be utilized to coordinate emergency and disaster operations regardless of their origin.
10Slide 10
The provision of warning is a shared responsibility of the State, the counties and municipalities…. It is understood that each county and the
City of Chicago will assume the responsibility for the dissemination of warnings and bulletins to municipal governments, taxing districts, local officials and designated special facilities.
11Slide 11
Three separate but interrelated components
1- Statewide warning and alerting systems.
2- Incident scene management and interoperability.
3- Infrastructure to support interoperable scene communications
12Slide 12
Component 1 : Statewide warning and alerting systems
EMnet …Satellite based data systemState EOC main originator of messages.Ability to forward messages.Confirmation of receipt.E-mail bulletin format.
Many locations: County EOC’s , State Police posts, POD Hospitals, Main MABAS dispatch centers, ILEAS Dispatch, IDPH, IDOT, National Weather Service offices, City of Chicago
13Slide 13
Additional alerting: STARCOM : voice bulletins LEADS: primarily Law enforcement HSIN: Homeland Security Information
Network ( not yet in service in Illinois)
14Slide 14
Component 2: Incident Scene Management and interoperability (frequencies) First response is at local level with local
frequencies and resources. Other available frequencies include:
IREACH, IFERN,FIREGROUNDS,V-TAC, U-TAC, I-TAC and Federal frequencies when working with Federal Agencies.
15Slide 15
Component 2: cont’d (Scene Equipment)
VHF interoperability mobiles. (3000) ITECS Trailer suites (10) strategically
located throughout the State.
16Slide 16
VHF interoperability mobile Motorola XTL 5000
17Slide 17
ITECS Trailer Illinois Transportable Emergency
Communications Suite
18Slide 18
Component 3: Infrastructure to support interoperable scene and backbone system-wide communications. IREACH Base stations. Public Health access to IREACH. (mobiles
and / or portables . Rebuild Hospital radio system. Enhance State Direction and Control
system. lowband ( 45.44) STARCOM integration
19Slide 19
IREACH BASE STATIONS All 102 counties and City of Chicago.( Many
others in dispatch centers in Metro Chicago.)
Coverage availability not necessarily from your own county.
20Slide 20
Public Health IREACH radios XTL 5000 mobile A4 HT 1250
21Slide 21
Hospital Base Stations 110 Wattt VHF. Up to 16 transmit frequencies Equipped with 3 receivers
#1 155.280 Hosp. – Hosp. (statewide)
#2 155.340 (w statewide ambulance tone)
#3 155.400 or 155.340 or 155.160 or 155.220
Depending on local need with local tone.

IREACH Information available at
www.prairienet.org/ireach
25Slide 25
Licensing 155.055 The County or city that your health
department is affiliated with must have a valid FCC authorization (license)
Independent advisory governing board established in 1982 to oversee licensing, operational policy and enforcement issues.
26Slide 26
Authorized Users Public Safety Agencies and other affiliated
agencies.
27Slide 27
Purpose
To allow any pubic safety employee to talk to any other public safety employee via radio, provided the radio traffic relates to official duties and the protection of life and property.
i.e. Public health worker relating critical information to a paramedic or other emergency worker or dispatch center.
28Slide 28
Base stations are allowed to operate on IREACH to foster coordination and communications between public safety units. A base station may initiate a dispatch if it is of significant interest to two or more disciplines.
IREACH shall not be used by a single agency for field operations or as an intra-agency car to car channel.
