Goals & Objectives• Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TICP) Preparation

• Assist and support Districts in District-level TICP preparation• Document communications governance structures within each

District• Create a document that is informative and educational that doesn’t

just collect dust on a shelf• Enhance the TICP by integrating useful features and shortcuts that

allow for easier updates

• CASM Data Entry Project• Validate CASM Data already in the system• Data Entry of CASM Data that needs to be in the system

Usability of Tools


6


TICP Preparation• The TICP is designed to help you:

• Establish and maintain routine communications interoperability• Maintain emergency communications in the event of a catastrophic

situation

• Base Plan• Administrative and technical aspects of

routine and emergency interoperability• Contents common to all Districts

• District Plan (Appendix)• Data needed to achieve emergency

interoperability and backup• Majority of data will be taken from CASM


7


TICP Preparation (cont.)

• Base Plan• Statewide resources and governance information• Definitions of various interoperable equipment• Policies and procedures for the use of this equipment• Potential use of tools such as netPlanner, WebEOC, CASM• Standard templates and forms for communications and assets• Less district impact with a separate Base Plan

• IPSC/SIEC updates only the Base Plan instead of ten District Plans whenever statewide changes are needed


8


TICP Preparation (cont.)

• District Plans• The District Plans are stand-alone appendices of the larger Base

Plan • Contain district-specific information that may change more

frequently than Base Plan content• Overview of district including transportation, major facilities,

events, and geographical composition• District and communications points of contact (POC)• Listing and description of shared channels, systems, frequencies,

and talk groups• Data tables of various communications assets including Radio

Caches, Gateway Systems, and other interoperable equipment


9


CASM Data Entry• CAS – Database to store

all assets across the state that links user agencies with those assets

• CAM – Mapping tool that places information from CAS into a state view. Interoperability can be mapped between agencies or geographies.
