1 Planning Your Communications How the ICS-217A and the ICS-205 work together to make Incident Communications run smoothly. 18 th Annual MI Section Family Outing July 9, 2016 Chuck Cribley, WA8LQD and Dave Wallick, N8LBF
2 ICS Forms? Huh?? NIMS / ICS Common terminology Concise & clear exchange of information We need a 201 (what s going on?), a 202 (what are your objectives?), a 207 (how is the response organized?), and a 205 (how are you communicating?). 201 Incident Briefing form 202 Incident Objectives 207 Incident Organization Chart 205 Incident Radio Communications Plan 7/6/2016 2
3 ICS Communications Documents ICS-217A Communications Resource Availability Worksheet ICS-205 Incident Radio Communications Plan working together 7/6/2016 3
4 ICS 217A Comms Resource Availability Worksheet Maintained by each County; input to County TICP Consists of all radio comms resources available Law Enforcement Fire EMS DNR and more 7/6/2016 4

6 Spanning Radio Technology Bands/Frequency complexities: HF, VHF, UHF, 800 MHz, 700 MHz (First Net digital) propagation System complexities: Repeaters (linked, IP networked, gateway systems) Simplex / Direct Digital (voice and data) Channelized radios 7/6/2016 6
7 Preparing and Updating the 217A Status of County 217A managed by County EMC Amateur Radio contribution is only part of 217A, but an important part 217A may be considered sensitive information Some frequency assignments not widely known Offer your assistance to EMC to update County 217A Annual updates to Amateur Radio contribution to County 217A recommended Familiarize ARES/RACES leadership with County 217A Use the Amateur Radio contribution to the 217A for ARES/RACES TT exercises and drills 7/6/2016 7

Think restaurant menu, filing cabinet, encyclopedia Peacetime ops continue while wartime ops are active. Use 217A as a catalog of available comms resources to avoid radio interferences and provide additional comms resources for wartime 205 Comms Plan 7/6/
11 Resources ICS 217A forms - fillable Complete a 217A (Amateur Radio contribution) worksheet for your County; share results with your EMC ICS fillable Table Top Exercise Use your 217A to complete a 205 for an emergency scenario Copies from presenter for use with your ARES/RACES groups 7/6/
12 TableTop Exercise - Amateur Radio Incident Communication Plan Scenario: An explosion of unknown origin has just taken out your collocated County EOC, 911 PSAP, and main Public Safety radio antenna tower. Residents in homes around the vicinity of the explosion have been evacuated by police. The cell phone towers are overloaded and not available for incident communications. Public Safety radio communications, using remote radio towers, is spotty and unreliable. The possibility of additional explosions has been threatened to target other area communications towers (ie, Amateur Radio repeater towers), so we cannot rely on the area 2m repeater. You, as County ARES/RACES on-scene leader, have been tasked by the Incident Commander with setting up: communications between mobile ICC (Incident Communications Center) and the Downtown Fire Station communications to pass traffic between the ICC & State EOC communications to pass traffic between the ICC and the Red Cross shelter housing evacuated residents. A ComL has arrived at the ICC and wants to know your Amateur Radio comms plan to support response and recovery efforts. Your task: Working from your County Amateur Radio Communications Resource Availability Worksheet (ICS-217A), draft the Amateur Radio portion of the Incident Communication Plan (ICS-205). 7/6/
