Imaact - Sustalnability <br />Describe the long-term approach to sustaining this Investment. (4,000 Char. Max) <br /> Principally, the elements of Hawaii Region's plan will be built into the existing Hawaii- County <br /> Public Safety radio system. This is intentional, the Hawaii Island Region has-had negative <br /> experiences with purchasing interoperability tools such as radio bridges only to have these items <br /> sit idle because the tools are designed for Specialized use. The Hawaii Region's plan focused on <br /> interoperability elements that will have day-to-day use including the RoIP and data elements. <br /> Interoperable channels will be monitored 24/7 by the PSAPs and can be tested on a weekly basis as <br /> currently done with repeatable channels is current use, Sustainability, is a given, use is part <br /> and parcel to day to day operations. Because all element are'part of the existing radio system, <br /> funding for maintenance and support far the FSIC components will be included in the regular <br /> maintenance agreement. The PSIC will provide Hawaii County and the response agencies a <br /> capability beyond the performance period of the grant. while the systems may require -- <br />-1,000 periodically enhancements due to technological updates and changing protocols, the county will <br />characters <br />-- include these costs in operational budget submissions through the County Council. The Hawaii <br /> County Data Systems Department with or operations departments, will include the costs associated <br /> with the PSIC equipment to budget for this. Only the RoIP gateways at the local Fire/HAZMAT/EMS <br /> and Police Stations will need regular exercising and training. The gateways can be tested on a <br /> regular basis by "back hauling" voice communication from the local base station over alternate <br /> pathways such as DSL, telephone, or DS3; protocol for testing the gatewa~is in this fashion need <br /> to be developed, but does not present a technological or policy hurdle.. <br /> <br /> i-r, <br /> <br /> <br /> ~.: <br />_ <br />characters , <br /> <br /> <br /> ° <br />; <br /> ,. <br />.~, <br />, <br /> <br /> <br />Federal Emergency Management ggency <br />For Official Use Only - Page 11 - U.S. Department of Homeland Security <br />
