Book excerpt: As the first to respond to natural disaster, domestic terrorism, & other emergencies, public safety agencies rely on timely communications across multiple disciplines & jurisdictions. It is vital to the safety & effectiveness of first responders that their electronic communications systems enable them to communicate with whomever they need to, when they need to, & when they are authorized to do so. This report determines, among other things: (1) the extent to which Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) funding & technical assistance has helped to improve interoperable communications in selected states; & (2) the progress that has been made in the development & implementation of interoperable communications standards. Charts & tables.

Download or read book Interoperable Electronic Safety Equipment written by Casey C Grant and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firefighters and other emergency first responders use a huge variety of highly specialized and critical technologies for personal protection. These technologies, ranging from GPS to environmental sensing to communication devices, often run on different systems with separate power supplies and operating platforms. How these technological components function in a single synergistic system is of critical interest to firefighter end-users seeking efficient tools. Interoperable ESE states that a standardized platform for electronic safety equipment (ESE) is both logical and essential. This book develops an inventory of existing and emerging electronic equipment categorized by key areas of interest to the fire service, documents equipment performance requirements relevant to interoperability, including communications and power requirements, and develops an action plan toward the development of requirements to meet the needs of emergency responders. This book is intended for practitioners as a tool for understanding interoperability concepts and the requirements of the fire service landscape. It offers clear recommendations for the future to help ensure efficiency and safety with fire protection equipment. Researchers working in a related field will also find the book valuable.

Download or read book Achieving Communications Interoperability written by Michael Mule' and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army Signal Corps is helping solve problems of interoperability in communications equipment by being the spearhead in producing personnel capable of running state of the art equipment and constantly striving for improvements in current systems. The Civil Support Teams and their Unified Command Suite operated by Signal Corps personnel are the best foot forward in a race to solve the ongoing battle of ever better communications capabilities. The Unified Command Suite allows for the closest achievement yet in having fully interoperable communications with multiple organizations and equipment. It is the first successful attempt at specifically solving the problems in interoperability between first responders and Army units. The ability to quickly arrive at a disaster site, set up, organize and coordinate personnel, and achieve interoperable communications will vastly improve Homeland Security by solving what has been a constant problem in the past. There are currently 55 CST teams around the nation to arrive as quickly as possible to a disaster and start working. This should be a sufficient number of teams to respond to any disaster known to date. As with any technology though, it is only as good as the person operating it. The technology to seamlessly communicate has arrived. It is now up to first responders and CSTs to maintain a level of training that keeps them proficient in their skills of coordination and communication when working together. The best skill to have when going into the unknown is a preparedness gained through practice and training for predicted situations from past experiences. America has gone though major disasters in its recent history and it would be foolish to not learn from the mistakes made in responding to those disasters.
