6. Success Stories Well trained rapid-response teams that could be dispatched within minutes were in place throughout the state. Extensive preplanning and coordination at all levels of government facilitated timely exchange of information and communications Effective pre-incident coordination, planning and pre- staging of necessary personnel, spare parts, and fuel Well trained rapid-response teams that could be dispatched within minutes were in place throughout the state.

14. Best Practices Pre-Planning using TIMS, NIMS, ICS The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) To reduce response and handling times for traffic incidents, highway agencies, public safety agencies, traffic management organizations, and private sector responders should be included in pre-incident planning.

16. Why Pre-Plan? Iron out territory and boundary issues Understand complementary and competing priorities, duties, capabilities and resources Agree on a manner in which to operate Agree on communications plan Reach agreement on policies and procedures Train and exercise together Iron out territory and boundary issues Understand complementary and competing priorities, duties, capabilities and resources Agree on a manner in which to operate Agree on communications plan Reach agreement on policies and procedures Train and exercise together

17. A Concept of Operations (CONOPS) is a document describing the big picture characteristics of a proposed system or process from the viewpoint of the users. It is used to communicate the quantitative and qualitative system characteristics to all stakeholders. What is a Concept of Operations?

19. Platinum Ten Establish Command Control Communications Golden Hour Incident-Specific Command Structure, IAP, ICS-205, etc. Window of Increasing Severity and Risk with Time A universal CONOPS that targets establishing Command, Control, and Communications in the first ten minutes of a multi-jurisdictional, multi-disciplinary incident. It is referred to as the “Platinum Ten” Concept of Operations. Our Parallel and Challenge: Rapid C3
