Workgroups

The Operational Workgroup is an SIEC
Workgroup that evaluates and makes recommendations from an
operational perspective to the SIEC on Memoranda of
Understanding, Standard Operating Procedures; and Policies,
Standards and Procedures. This Workgroup is also tasked with
making recommendations on Training, Exercises and Outreach.
The Technical Workgroup is an SIEC
Workgroup that evaluates and makes recommendations from a
technical perspective to the SIEC on Policies, Standards and
Procedures. The Technical Workgroup is also responsible for UHF
and VHF spectrum management as well as utilization of the
Communications Asset and Mapping Tool.
The Governance Workgroup evaluates and
makes recommendations to the PSCC on providing a unified
approach across multiples disciplines and jurisdictions to aid
the funding, effectiveness and overall support for
communications interoperability. This Workgroup helps to
provide the framework in which stakeholders can collaborate and
make decisions that reflect shared objectives.
The NIMS Communications Unit Workgroup (NIMS-CU), appointed by the SIEC, reviews the qualifications of each applicant seeking initial or renewal recognition as an Arizona Regional All-Hazards COML and awards recognition to qualified applicants. The Workgroup is also responsible for maintaining a body of policies and procedures related to its work. These policies and procedures are subject to modification, review and approval by the SIEC.
