Integrated Communications

Incident communications are facilitated through the development and use of a common communications plan and interoperable communications processes and architectures.  By definition, interoperability is the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together.


A common communications plan is essential for ensuring that responders can communicate with one another during an incident. It is critical that a communication plan be in place and that it is understood.  This should include an integrated voice and data communications system (which will include equipment, systems as well as protocols).
