National Emergency Communications Plan

• Released on 31 July 2008
• Established three goals for a minimum level of
  interoperable communications
• By 2010, 90 of all high-risk urban areas
  designated within the UASI can demonstrate
  response-level emergency communications within
  one hour for routine events involving multiple
  jurisdictions and agencies
• By 2011, 75 of non-UASI jurisdictions can
  demonstrate response-level emergency
  communications within one hour for routine events
  involving multiple jurisdictions and agencies
• By 2013, 75 of all jurisdictions can demonstrate
  response-level emergency communications within
  three hours of a significant event, as outlined
  in the departments national planning scenarios.
