- RACESBUL.219 DATE: April 27, 1992
- SUBJECT: MGT: Principles of Management for the Radio Officer
-
- The first principle is that of planning. The RACES plan is what
- first comes to mind. Is there one in effect and does it reflect in
- general context that of the model plan in general use in the State?
- But planning goes further than that. At one time there was a planning
- document by FEMA for jurisdictions, called ECDP for Emergency
- Communications Development Plan.
- That plan had 3 parts:
- 1. A complete communications inventory, listing all two-way radio
- systems and any others with which a well planned and equipped
- Emergency Operations Center should have to communicate. This meant
- all the internal and neighboring public safety systems, utilities,
- transportation, RACES, CAP, CB, GMRS and others.
- 2. A complete identification of deficiencies: everything you
- didn't have, but should have. Few jurisdictions have everything they
- need.
- 3. A complete acquisition plan, which listed budget estimate, and
- in what fiscal year the items were to be acquired to correct the
- deficiencies. Obviously, such a planning document requires annual
- updating.
