This page intentionally left blank

LETTER OF INTRODUCTION The West Virginia Statewide Tactical Interoperable Communications Field Operations Guide (TIC-FOG) is a collection of technical reference material to aid Communications Unit personnel in establishing solutions to support communications during emergency incidents and planned events. The TIC-FOG includes information from the West Virginia Statewide Tactical Interoperable Communications Plans (TICPs) and data from other West Virginia communications documents and is categorized into six Homeland Security and Radio Interoperability Regions. The TIC-FOG contains regional, state, and national interoperability channels. We encourage you to program as many of these interoperability channels in your radios as possible, as permitted by the applicable regulations. Even if geographic restrictions on some channels preclude their use in your home area, you may have the opportunity to help in a distant location where the restrictions do not apply. Maximize your flexibility. Please send updates, corrections, or comments about the West Virginia Statewide TIC-FOG or requests for additional copies to [email protected]. Thank you, G.E. McCabe West Virginia Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC)

INTEROPERABILITY GUIDELINES

1-1

1 INTEROPERABILITY GUIDELINES 1. Interoperable resources should be considered when

the day-to-day communication systems are overloaded or multiple jurisdictions or disciplines are involved in a large incident or preplanned event.

2. Maintain the use of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) including the use and implementation of the Incident Command System (ICS) whenever possible.

3. Use plain language and common terminology (avoid acronyms and code).

4. Use clear unit identification procedures including the agency name before the individual unit identifier.

5. Maintain clear and concise radio communications discipline, be brief and to the point.

6. Request additional assistance when needed. 7. Consider demobilization as event winds down.

1.1 AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES AND RIGHTS

Agencies will retain the following rights and responsibilities:

– Authorized representatives of agencies participating in this plan have the authority to request the use of equipment, including systems and mobile assets, in accordance with existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

– Agencies are responsible for complying with Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and Agreement


1-2

(MOAs) developed through the West Virginia regions in coordination with their respective jurisdictions.

– Where applicable, agencies will be responsible for consistently maintaining, testing, and exercising connectivity of interoperable communication resources.

– Incident Commanders (ICs) retain the right to decide how to utilize interoperable communication assets and resources in accordance with established MOUs and SOPs.

1.2 PRIORITIZATION AND SHARED USE OF REGIONAL INTEROPERABILITY ASSETS

The Incident Commander, or designee, in conjunction/cooperation with their counterparts in other involved agencies, will have the authority to request the use of interoperable assets. Once Unified Command is established, Command Staff or Communications Unit Leaders (COMLs) (when designated) direct the further coordination and delegation of the interoperable communication assets assigned to the event or incident in question.

Agencies should activate needed interoperable assets to respond effectively and to minimize any negative impact on surrounding agencies or jurisdictions. Specifically, interoperable communications should be attempted with the following order of operations in mind:


1-3

1. Utilize face-to-face communications wherever appropriate. For example, the co-location of all Command and General Staff at the Incident Command Post (ICP) provides the best direct communications and reduces the demand on interoperability resources;

2. Employ local communication assets until such time as either those assets become taxed or inadequate based on the nature and/or scope of the incident;

3. If response agencies are users of a shared system, utilize that shared system to establish interoperable communications;

4. If response agencies operate on disparate systems, utilize shared or mutual aid channels to establish interoperable communications;

5. If response agencies do not share systems or channels, utilize a gateway solution to establish interoperable communications;

6. Where interoperable communications cannot otherwise be established between response agencies, utilize swap or cache radios to establish operable communications for responders;

7. If no other method of interoperability can be established, relay communications through staff members.


1-4

In response to events or incidents which cross jurisdictional boundaries, there may potentially be competing demands and priorities for interoperable communication assets.

When the same resource is requested for two or more incidents, resource assignments should be based on the priority levels listed below:

1. Disasters, large scale incidents, or extreme emergencies requiring mutual aid or interagency communications;

2. Incidents where imminent danger exists to life or property;

3. Incidents requiring the response of multiple agencies; 4. Pre-planned events requiring mutual aid or

interagency communications; 5. Incidents involving a single agency where

supplemental communications are needed for agency use;

6. Drills, tests, and exercises. In the event of multiple simultaneous incidents within the same priority level, the Incident Commander or Unified Command (if formed) shall have allocation authority and shall allocate resources with the following priorities in mind:

1. Incidents with the greatest level of exigency (e.g., greater threat to life or property, more immediate need, etc.) have priority over less exigent incidents;


1-5

2. Agencies with single/limited interoperable options have priority use of those options over agencies with multiple interoperable options;

3. When at all possible, agencies already using an interoperable asset during an event should not be redirected to another resource.

1.3 ICS PERSONNEL COMMON RESPONSIBILITIES The following is a checklist applicable to all ICS personnel.

a. Receive assignment from your agency, including: 1. Job assignment, e.g., Strike Team designation,

overhead position, etc.; 2. Resource order number and request number; 3. Reporting location; 4. Reporting time; 5. Travel instructions; 6. Any special communication instructions, e.g.,

travel frequency. b. Upon arrival at the incident, check in at designated

check-in location. Check-in may be found at: 1. Incident Command Post; 2. Base or Camps; 3. Staging Areas; 4. Helibases; 5. If you are instructed to report directly to a line

assignment, check in with the Division/Group Supervisor.

c. Receive briefing from immediate supervisor.


1-6

d. Acquire work materials. e. Conduct all tasks in a manner that ensures safety and

welfare of you and your co-workers. f. Organize and brief subordinates. g. Know the assigned frequencies for your area of

responsibility and ensure that communication equipment is working properly.

h. Use clear text and ICS terminology (no codes) in all radio communications. All radio communications to the Incident Communications Center (ICC) will be addressed: “(Incident Name) Communications”, e.g., “Webb Communications”.

1.4 INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM (ICS)

ICS is a key feature of NIMS. It is a widely applicable management system designed to enable effective and efficient incident management by integrating a combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating with a common organizational structure. ICS is used to organize on-scene operations for a broad spectrum of incidents/events and guides the process for planning, building, and adapting that structure. ICS is based on the command principles of unity of command, chain of command, span of control, delegation of authority, and division of labor. The five major functional areas of ICS are command, operations, planning, logistics, and finance/administration.

1-12

1.8 POSITION DESCRIPTIONS At an Incident/Event The Communications Unit is in the Service Branch of the Logistics Section of the ICS. Listed below are the Communications Unit organization position titles and responsibilities. Communications Unit Leader (COML): Manages the technical and operational aspects of the Communications Function during an incident or event. Develops NIMS/ICS Form 205 Incident Radio Communications Plan and supervises the Communications Unit. Incident Communications Technician (COMT): Deploys advanced equipment and keeps it operational throughout the incident/event. The COMT is responsible for equipment setup, technical operation, and maintenance, along with any other tasks as assigned by the COML. Technical Specialist (THSP): Allows for the incorporation of personnel who may not be formally certified in any specific ICS position. THSPs may include Local Agency Radio Technicians (as opposed to the COMT), Telephone Specialists, Gateway Specialists, Data/IT Specialists, and/or Cache Radio Specialists.


1-13

Incident Communications Center Manager (INCM): Supervises the operational aspects of the Incident Communications Center (ICC) (mobile unit and/or fixed facility). During an incident, the ICC is designed to absorb incident traffic in order to separate that traffic from the day-to-day activities of the dispatch center. The ICC is typically located at the ICP in a fixed site, tent, trailer, or mobile communications unit. Radio Operator (RADO): Staffs a radio at the ICC and is responsible for documenting incoming radio and telephone messages. Incident Dispatchers or Tactical Dispatchers are used as RADOs. Dispatch Center or Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Communications Coordinator (COMC): Functions as a frequency coordinator for the region and works with the COML to coordinate with other dispatch centers and incident commanders to prevent/resolve interference issues in support of the incident communication plan. Locally, the jurisdictional dispatch center supervisor or dispatcher may act as the COMC. Coordinators may also work in conjunction with EOCs at the region and county, state, or federal level.


1-14

1.9 FCC-DESIGNATED NATIONAL INTEROPERABILITY CHANNELS

In order to encourage interoperability within the public safety community, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has been proactive in predefining a set of non-Federal, or national, interoperability channels in designated public safety spectrum bands. These channels are designed to provide the public safety community with a set of channels with predetermined operational parameters that could serve as a basis for initial on-the-scene coordination and resolution of local interoperability issues. The national mutual aid channels were designed to provide multiple agencies with a common set of operating frequencies and parameters for specific uses in an incident location; for example, common frequencies for fire, police, or emergency medical services. The use of these frequencies is guided by the regulations of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) for frequencies designated for Federal users and the FCC for frequencies designated for non-Federal use.

2 WEST VIRGINIA INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS

Refer to the West Virginia TICPs for additional information on all interoperable communication assets in the area. Refer to regional SOPs for policies and procedures on asset usage.

2.1 GENERAL RULES OF USE

‒ National Incident Management System (NIMS) – Use an ICS compliant with the NIMS when using any regional interoperability resource.

‒ National Response Framework (NRF) – Under the NRF, ICS Forms will be used for all appropriate documentation.

‒ Plain Language (Common Terminology) – All interoperable communications during multi-agency, multi-discipline incidents will be in plain language. Avoid using radio codes, acronyms, and abbreviations as they may cause confusion between agencies. Ensure that all verbal requests for assistance or backup specify the reason for the request.

‒ Unit Identification – Announce your home agency prior to announcing your unit identifier during interoperable communication situations (e.g., “Command, this is Monson Ambulance A1”).


2-2

Applies to Gateways ‒ Encryption – All encrypted radio users must operate

in a “clear” mode when a gateway is used, unless otherwise arranged in advance. Never assume encryption carries across the gateway.

‒ Technical Support – Qualified gateway THSPs or COMTs must be available for on-scene support during the deployment of mobile gateways.

‒ Patching – Mobile patching should generally be limited to simplex operations. Wide area networks should not be patched unless authorized through local system coordinator(s). Gateway devices should not patch FCC frequencies to military frequencies unless coordinated with the Military Facility Frequency Manager.

‒ Monitoring – The Incident Commander, or their designee, will ensure that each activated patch is monitored consistently while in use.


2-3

Applies to Cache Radios ‒ Charging – Cache radios must be fully charged and

ready for immediate deployment when requested. Deployed equipment includes extra batteries and/or battery chargers to support extended deployments.

‒ Radio Identification – Each radio in a radio cache will have a unique identification number (e.g., serial number) for inventory tracking.

‒ Technical Support – Qualified radio cache THSPs or COMTs should be available for on-scene support during the deployment, if the requesting agency cannot act in this capacity.

‒ Equipment Return – The requesting agency is responsible for the return of any cache radios, Mobile Communications Units (MCUs), and equipment in the condition that they were issued/received. Responsibilities for lost or damaged equipment lie with the appropriate agency as dictated by existing MOAs.

Applies to Mobile Communications Unit (MCU) ‒ Equipment Return – The requesting agency is

responsible for the return of any MCU in the condition that they were received and/or as dictated by existing MOAs.

‒ Operational Expenses – Responsibility for operational expenses should be decided upon ahead of time or within an MOU.


2-4

2.2 COML AND COMT ASSETS A cadre of COMLs and COMTs are available for deployment statewide for support during emergency incidents, planned events, trainings, and exercises. The individuals who are available to fulfill these roles evolve continuously, and therefore are not listed in the TIC-FOG. The State serves as the primary POC for coordinating requests for COML and COMT deployment. COML West Virginia COMLs are required to complete the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) COML classroom curriculum, selected Incident Command System training, and the Position-Specific Task Book. West Virginia COMLs also have additional requirements, including, but not limited to:

– All COML candidates must participate in an exercise (functional or full-scale only), or actual incident overseen by a credentialed West Virginia COML. The COML will verify the COML candidate has displayed the requisite skills for completion.

– The credentialed COML must maintain a continuing education program.

COMT Like COMLs, West Virginia COMTs have similar, position-specific classroom training and credentialing requirements.

9 OHIO BORDERING COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

MARCS (Multi-Agency Radio Communication System) is dedicated to providing Ohio's first responders and public safety providers with state-of-the-art wireless digital communications, and to promote interoperability, in order to save lives and maximize effectiveness in both normal operations and emergency situations. MARCS is a 700/800 MHz radio and data network that utilizes state-of-the-art trunked technology to provide statewide interoperability in digital clarity to its subscribers throughout Ohio and a 10 mile radius outside of Ohio. The MARCS system provides statewide, secure, reliable public service wireless communication for public safety and first responders. The MARCS development contract required 97.5% mobile voice and data in street coverage. 99.71% aggregate voice coverage was realized and 98.13% aggregate data coverage was achieved. This allows maximum statewide interoperability and enhanced safety and protection for public safety service providers through secure digital transmissions.


9-2

The MARCS network operates on three system components: − Mobile Voice – operating on the 700/800 MHZ digital

trunked technology − Mobile Data – allowing data transmissions, LEADS

inquiries, and reformatting of data from Mobile Data Terminals (MDT)

− Computer Aided Dispatch - providing GPS-based auto vehicle location, resource recommendation and GGM display

MARCS Network Operations Center is staffed 24 x 7 x 365 days a year and can be reached at 866-646-2727. Additional information can be found at: http://das.ohio.gov/divisions/informationtechnology/marcsservices.aspx

INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS

12-1

12 INTEROPERABLE COMMUNICATIONS Interoperability channels can be used where they are licensed or authorized by FCC or NTIA, including authorization by a Special Temporary Authorization (STA). Plans for how these channels will be used may be in the Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan (SCIP) or the Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TICP) for the area of operations. The COML (Communications Unit Leader) acts as or delegates the role of frequency manager; assigning specific uses to available radio channels and coordinating with dispatchers, the FCC, and NTIA for authorization to use additional channels as needed. The following pages are mutual aid radio communications interoperability channels and frequencies.

12.1 BROADBAND INFORMATION Broadband - In general usage, the term “broadband” is a label applied to any telecommunications technology offering a better data transmission rate than a standard voice-grade telephone line (which is 56 Kbps or less). In 2008, the FCC defined broadband using a set of tiered speeds, with Tier 1 being characterized as "First Generation Data". Tier 2 (768 Kbps) is now the minimum data transmission rate for "Basic Broadband." Tiers 3 through 8 reflect the range of broadband service speeds currently available or expected to be available from Internet broadband service providers.


12-2

Tier Rate 1 200 Kbps up to 768 Kbps 2 768 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps 3 1.5 Mbps to < 3.0 Mbps 4 3.0 Mbps to < 6.0 Mbps 5 6.0 Mbps to < 10.0 Mbps 6 10.0 Mbps to < 25.0 Mbps 7 25.0 Mbps but < 100.0 Mbps 8 100.0 Mbps and beyond

GENERAL INFORMATION

14 TERMINOLOGY Interoperability is the ability to communicate as needed, on demand, and as authorized at all levels of government across all disciplines. Communicate between agencies that utilize disparate radio systems and other interoperability methods such as mutual aid channels, gateways, dispatch centers, and radio caches. Interoperable resources are defined as shared systems, shared channels, gateways, and radio caches. Interoperable assets incorporated into this WV TIC-FOG are: Shared systems refer to a single radio system used to provide service to several public safety or public service agencies. Intra-system shared channels refer to common frequencies/talk groups established and programmed into radios to provide interoperable communications among agencies using the same shared radio system. “Channel,” in this context, refers to the name of a common frequency/talk group visually displayed on a user’s radio. Inter-system shared channels (e.g., mutual-aid channels, interoperability channels, etc.) refer to common frequencies/talk groups established and programmed into radios to provide interoperable communications among agencies using different radio systems. “Channel,” in this context, refers to the name of a common frequency/talk group visually displayed on a user’s radio.

Gateway systems interconnect channels of disparate systems (whether on different frequency bands or radio operating modes), allowing first responders using their existing radios and channels to be interconnected with the channels of other users outside of their agency. Cache radios refer to maintaining a cache of standby radios that can be deployed to support regional incidents. These radios may be from a regional cache or from a participating agency. These radios allow all responders to use common, compatible equipment during an incident. Mobile Communications Units (MCUs) (i.e., Mobile Communications Centers (MCCs), Mobile Communications Vehicle (MCV), etc.) refer to any vehicular asset that can be deployed to provide or supplement communications capabilities in an incident area. Examples of the types of communications devices an MCU can house are: subscriber and base station radios of various frequency bands, gateway devices, satellite phones, wireless computer networks, video broadcasting/receiving equipment, etc. Typically, these communications devices are permanently located or stored in the MCUs when not used. The MCU should also be able to temporarily provide the electrical power required to operate the communications devices.
