The Emergency Services Sector Management Team (ES SMT) would like to invite you to join our Working Group responsible for creating Interoperable Communications Best Practices and Guidelines. The purpose of this document is to outline the best practices related to interoperable communications in the emergency services sector; this includes preplanning for interoperability with major event and incidents, working with statewide interoperability coordinators and emergency communication coordinators, and highlighting the importance of prioritizing cross-collaboration within communications. The goals of the Working Group are to:
• Identify best practices related to interoperability of communications equipment between sectors;
• Identify the most effective methods of overcoming interoperability issues with communications equipment;
• Identify the most appropriate resources and personnel to work with when planning for interoperable communications operations; and,
• Utilize cross-sector subject matter experts within each sector, enhancing the resilience and preparedness of the emergency services sector for large-scale incidents. If you are interested in providing your expertise in this matter, please reach out to the ES SMT at EmergencyServicesSector@cisa.dhs.gov
