  1. Incident Communications Interoperability Strategy Illinois Terrorism Task Force Communications Committee

  2. Statewide Operational Concepts • During an emergency, resources and frequencies will be assigned based on mission assignments. • Initial response to an incident is LOCAL. Communications systems will expand to support local emergency operations.

  3. Local Emergency INCIDENT OCCURS • Initial First Responder • Initiates Incident Command • Uses normal and tactical frequencies

  4. Local EmergencyMulti-Agency Response INCIDENT OCCURS • Normal Frequency • IFERN • IREACH • Fireground(s) • Normal Frequency • ISPERN • IREACH

  5. Local EmergencyMulti-Agency Response INCIDENT OCCURS PROBLEM UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE BETWEEN AND AMONG RESPONSE AGENCIES • Normal Frequency • IFERN • IREACH • Fireground(s) • Normal Frequency • ISPERN • IREACH

  6. Local EmergencyMulti-Agency Interoperable Response INCIDENT OCCURS • Normal Frequency • IFERN • IREACH • 6 Fireground(s) • Normal Frequency • ISPERN • IREACH VHF TACTICAL (VTAC) Mobile Radio For The Command Vehicle 5 Interoperable Channels

  7. Communications Surge Strategy Localized Event • Response by local agencies (fire, police, etc.) • Communications on normal and mutual aid operating channels • VHF interoperability used between departments • Class 1 or Class 2 command post utilized

  8. Communications Surge Strategy Large Multi-Agency Event • Response by multiple agencies and disciplines • Unified Command operational • Coordinated communications on various channels • Class 2 or Class 3 command post used

  9. Communications Surge Strategy Major to Catastrophic Event Including Deployment of Specialized Teams • Unified Command operational • Need for specialized communications capabilities • Need for MANAGED communications system

  10. Communications Surge Strategy Illinois Transportable Emergency Communications System • Cross-band interface • 24 VHF portables • 24 UHF portables • 2 VHF base stations • 3 UHF repeaters • 2 (450-470 MHz) 1 (800 MHz) • Satellite Internet • Weather station with plume modeling software ITECS

  11. Communications Surge Capability ITECS Based in IEMA Regions • 2 Winnebago County • 3 Will County • 4 DuPage County • 4 Chicago • 6 IEMA • 7 Champaign County • 6 through 11 to be determined • Activated by IEMA – SEOC • Suite closest to the incident will be dispatched following request
