📣 Earlier this month, FEMA Region 2 and NYS Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services executed the first-ever FEMA-State “Practice your Primary, Alternate Contingency, Emergency (PACE) Communications Plan” exercise. PACE communications plans are a tool for helping organizations prepare for backup communications capabilities in out-of-the-ordinary situations.   This practice scenario focused on how the New York State Watch transmits information to FEMA Region 2 in a communications-degraded environment.   FEMA Region 2, along with CISA Region 2, supported the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program event where the New York State Watch relayed pre-scripted messages to the FEMA Region 2 Watch Center on all available PACE communication systems to include satellite phone, land mobile radio and the FEMA National Radio System.   ❓ What is a PACE Plan ❓   ➡ Maintaining operability, interoperability and continuity of emergency communications is critical for emergency response, regardless of the operating conditions. PACE planning helps organizations establish options for redundant communications capabilities if primary capabilities are disrupted or degraded. It also helps establish predictable and redundant communications capabilities in changing operational environments.   Federal-state communications interoperability is critical to effectively support the citizens of our nation during catastrophic events. This exercise helped strengthen FEMA Region 2’s partnership with state counterparts and helped pave the way for future opportunities to refine execution for future emergency events.     To receive the FEMA Region 2’s “Practice your PACE” exercise documents, PACE Plan or to collaborate on PACE Plan efforts, please email the FEMA Region 2 Disaster Emergency Communications Team at FEMA-R2-DEC-ESF02-All@fema.dhs.gov. #EmergencyManagement #EmergencyManagers #FEMA #NewYork
