The National Emergency Communications
Plan (NECP) defines three goals that establish a minimum level of
interoperable communications and a deadline for federal, state, local
and tribal authorities:
1. By 2010, 90 percent of all
high-risk urban areas designated within the Urban Areas Security
Initiative (UASI) can demonstrate response-level emergency
communications within one hour for routine events involving multiple
jurisdictions and agencies.
2. By 2011, 75 percent of non-UASI
jurisdictions can demonstrate response-level emergency communications
within one hour for routine events involving multiple jurisdictions and
agencies.
3. By 2013, 75 percent of all jurisdictions can demonstrate response-level emergency communications within three hours of a significant event, as outlined in the department’s national planning scenarios.
