1. National Emergency Communications Planning Challenges, Progress & Future What is the role of communications during catastrophic situations? Presented by: Michael Alagna Director Homeland Security Strategic Initiatives & Policy Motorola Washington, DC USA May 2010

2. Air Florida 1982 Three Mile Island 1979 Oklahoma City Bombing 1995 Space Shuttle Accident 2003 World Trade Center 2001 Hurricane Katrina 2005 Disasters of all types, man made or natural, can strike ANYWHERE and at ANYTIME! Kentucky Ice Storm 2009 California Wildfires 2008 Tornado Outbreak 1999 California Earthquake 1989 Communications among those responding to a natural disaster, terrorist attack, or other large-scale emergency is the essential component to a successful response and recovery effort, and ultimately in the ability of a Nation’s emergency responders to save lives and property.

3. Significant events and disasters can cause primary communications systems to be lost, diminishing emergency response effectiveness… Planning and implementing comprehensive primary and back-up communications solutions is essential to maintaining critical operations Events Impacting Communications Systems Software failure Spoofing Lightning Loss of back room or electronics bank Interception of signals/ wiretapping Wildfire Loss of infrastructure site facility Radio frequency interference Flooding Loss of infrastructure connectivity Unauthorized use of system resources Extreme temperatures Failure of backup electrical systems Theft of assets Electrical storm Interruption of commercial power Tampering Severe storm (e.g., hurricane, winter storm) Hardware failure Terrorist attack Earthquake TECHNOLOGICAL HUMAN NATURAL

8. Criticality of Communications Across Responder Organizations Critical Information Sharing and Coordinated Interoperable Communications Increases in Complexity to Meet the Requirements of a Responder Community that could Include Tens or Hundreds of Organizations

11. Multi-Dimensional Challenge Tools for improving emergency communications must take into account all of the factors critical for a successful solution. Department of Homeland Security Interoperability Continuum
