Radio AgreementHELP US SPREAD THE WORD!

On August 18, during the SIEC, The Department of Natural Resources presented their new process and flyer with information about how public safety organizations can share their FCC licensed radio frequencies.  Frequency sharing is critical for incident response.  Please help us improve communication interoperability by spreading the word to public safety agencies so they have the opportunity to partner with DNR.

 

 

 

SIEC MISSION
Our emergency responders cannot always talk to each other during crisis situations. The State Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC) was formed by legislative mandate in 2003 and works to ensure:
All emergency responders, across all levels of government and across all jurisdictions can talk to each other and share data:
(1) on demand,
(2) in real-time,Small SIEC Logo
(3) as needed, and
(4) as authorized.

In addition to major disasters, there are a number of emergencies that can happen in any community on any day requiring seamless radio connections and data sharing including school shootings, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, fires and crimes.
The SIEC aids all levels of government to achieve interoperability by functioning as a subcommittee of the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO).
SIEC Members represent a number of agencies divided nearly evenly between state and local jurisdictions.
We encourage you to attend SIEC Meetings
