Review interoperability needs with all agencies serving citizens and/or territory within the <br /> county and those law and fire/EMS agencies bordering Orange County, including <br /> gateway or P251SSI needs for users not served by the proposed infrastructure (i.e.: <br /> ambulances from outside Orange County needing inter-communications with Orange <br /> County based hospitals) as may be identified. <br /> As the County is aware, SAFECOM's continuum indicates an agency's level of interoperability based <br /> upon criteria in each lane: Governance, Standard Operating Procedures, Technology, Training & <br /> Exercise, and Usage. As shown by the continuum in Exhibit 5, true interoperability increases as <br /> agencies are able to demonstrate that they align on the right side of the continuum. The third lane, <br /> Technology, defines the steps to achieve SAFECOM's highest level of communications equipment <br /> and systems interoperability: the ability of public safety and public service agencies to communicate <br /> across disciplines and jurisdictions, exchanging voice and/or data with one another on demand, in <br /> real time, when needed, and as authorized. <br /> Homeland Interoperability Continuum <br /> Security <br /> 0 <br /> Regional Committee — <br /> 0 Individual Agencies Informal Key Multi.Disciplme Working within a Statewide qCq, <br /> Gdy@masnc@ � Working Coordination Staff Collaboration Communications Interoperability N E <br /> Independently Betwoon Agencies on a Regular Basis Plan Framework 07 <br /> m ; rn8 <br /> P � � <br /> d o <br /> rn p E N <br /> O n3 <br /> National Incident <br /> Standard E so Individual Regional Bat of o m <br /> operating Agency joint SUPS Joint sops Communications Management .W y <br /> Procedures SOPS for Pia nned Events for Emergencies sops System a <br /> w Integratedated 30 Ps � o <br /> One-Way Two-Way a <br /> [3 47 RATA Swap Common Custom-Interfaced Standards-Based Standards-Sased m .- <br /> 5 bra Krs Files Applicalions Applications Sharing Sharing o w <br /> Technologym c ......................... .............................. <br /> GO <br /> M S9 a,�rs Swap GatewayShared Channels Pro pnatary Shared Standards-Based - <br /> Radios System Shared System <br /> m m a m <br /> w General Single Agency Multi-Agency Multi-Agency C <br /> o° m Orientation on Tabletop Exorcises Tabletop Exercises Full Functional Regular Camprehenalye 4 <br /> _ <br /> `m <br /> Equipment and for Key Field and for Key Field and 'Exercises Involving Regionwide Training <br /> and Exert; <br /> 'S <br /> m m Applications Support Staff Support Staff All$taff <br /> m <br /> @ to y <br /> E E <br /> — _ .0 Q E <br /> g Localized Regional incident Daily Use = <br /> :- c Planned Events Emergency <br /> Incidents Management Throughout Region <br /> Exhibit 5—SAFECOM's Interoperability Continuum' <br /> During the user and stakeholder interviews, FE will discover the County's desired levels of regional <br /> interoperability with adjacent municipalities and counties, the North Carolina State Police, and federal <br /> agencies.
