10 Initiative Outcomes An ubiquitous standard, regional framework and protocol for how ESFs integrate operations and supporting systems, regardless of any participating entity’s specific system or application Interconnect EOCs and PSCCs and other office locations for private voice communication and sharing data between EOC and CAD systems Assures communications capability and capacity is secure and available Enables: CAD to CAD; integrated ‘EOC’/incident tracking; voice and video teleconferencing; extended enterprise and remote access; and full communications capability to responders at any incident scene ESF2 Interoperability Communications Infrastructure ESF2 Future Enhancements to Regional Interoperability Communications Infrastructure

11 Enables CAD to CAD Interoperability integrated ‘EOC’/incident tracking voice and video teleconferencing extended enterprise and remote access full communications capability to responders at any incident scene ESF2 Interoperability Communications Infrastructure ESF2 Future Enhancements to Regional Interoperability Communications Infrastructure

12 Advantages Baseline communications infrastructures to be interconnected Planning and design work substantially underway Competencies and experience already exist in several NRC jurisdictions in development of cross governmental boundaries data exchange Project endorsement and collaboration established with Emergency Managers & Public Safety responders Protects jurisdictions current investments and efficiencies in embedded applications Sustainable ESF2 Interoperability Communications Infrastructure ESF2 Future Enhancements to Regional Interoperability Communications Infrastructure
