Preamble ECS Notebook is a comprehensive reference document for SFARES members, et. al. Three concepts: Graceful degradation of capabilities Intensive training Role of the Emergency Managers Initial Baseline: All SFARES systems fully operational and all ..capabilities available Goal: Always be able to communicate

Five Year Master Plan Implemented in phased approach Does not include existing infrastructure Provide for graceful degradation of capabilities Each site to have back-up battery and un-interruptible power supplies (UPS) Always provide voice communications among all key sites with 100% reliability

Six Components of the Emergency Communications System Central Sites Remote Sites SFARES Mesh Repeaters Rocky mountain Nodes Computers at the Various Sites

Central Sites Santa Fe County EOC Food Depot Radio Room Santa Fe City EOC Santa Fe County EOC in Edgewood (EOC Alternate) All configured identically in terms of: Radios, Computers, Capabilities All have Voice and Digital Mode Capability World-Wide HF Regional and local VHF/UHF and Microwave Send and receive normal email and WinLink 2000 12Volt UPS and Facility-wide UPS. Access to APRS and screen display to show location of Resources

Remote Sites St. Vincent Hospital and Santa Fe Municipal Airport Will be supplied with identical VHF/UHF with both digital and Voice capabilities State Penitentiary Radio Room Configured identical to a Central Site Fire Multi-Agency Center (FMAC) Identical to Central Site except no HF capability

SFARES MESH Strategically placed nodes operating in microwave frequencies providing intranet links Mesh will provide: links to the four remote sites VOIP Video Internal website for accessing resources

Repeaters In emergency, SFARES will utilize: the Tesuque linked repeater system for voice comms W5SF D-STAR repeater on the Food Depot tower. All central site HF radios will be D-STAR capable
