INVESTMENT# StatelTerritoryName: Hawaii - 3 Investment Name: and Data Channel Hawaii Island Region Interoperable Channel, RoIP Interface, Grantee Type: Local Jurisdiction / Entity / NGO / Tribal Is this amulti-jurisdictional or statewide project? Yes List the Jurisdictions served by this project: A11 jurisdictional agencies with ZIHF and IP adaptable communications ca ability p Is this amulti-disciplinary project (e.g., taw enforcement, fire service, public health)? Yes List the disciplines served by this project: Hawaii Island Police, Eire/HAZMAT, EM3, Emergency Management III.B. Baseline -Description of Need Provide a summary description of the current state of this Investment, its objectives, and any outcomes that will be completed prior to the application of PSIC funds. Reference should also 6e made to the PSIC objectives (highlighted in Section I.A Program Funding Goais) addressed by the Investment. (3,000 Char. Max) This project addresses weakness in our communication systems related to interoperability-ability. The county has limited radio and data capability across a very large geographic aiea. Solutions based on NTIA PSIC objectives: Technology: - Radio: Replace RF interfaces with RoIP controllers and gateways. Data: DS3 technology is the primary data path with IP in and out. Spectrum efficiency - Radio: One VHF channel for command interoperability. IP (ISSI) as the RoIP protocol. Data: DS3 capability for the transfer of data, no radio channels, TCP/IP as a standard. Cost-effective - Radio:. RoIP controllers are 2/3 the cost of RF consoles. Data: DS3 capability is built into the current system, no RF data channel needed. All Hazards Mitigation: Voice and Data: The Hawaii Island Region is the most proned of all the Hawaiian Islands to natural disasters in the State. This project establishes multiple pathways into radio and data systems via IP allowing access in the event of failure or partls} of the system. High risk for threats of terrorism - Voice and Data: A threat and risk assessment indicates The Hawaii Island Regiom has a low risk to acts of terrorism.'Interoperability efforts will primarily be establishing MOUs with urban public safety for mutual aid response. Pre-position or secure interoperable comets: Radio and Data: ThQ entire Hawaii Island region. becomes a-wide area voice and data gateway via IP (ISSI and TCP/IP), allowing STR assets immediate portability into the III.C. Baseline -Description of Governance Structure and Activities Provide a summary description of the current state of your governance structure and activities. (2,500 Char. Max) Currently, the governance of the Hawaii Island Region in regards to interoperable communications is limited to 1)informal relationships established by the Hawaii County Civil pefense Agency between mutual aid partners. These relationships will be formalized through written agreements with partner agencies. Jurisdictional governance within the Hawaii Region are with the agencies that work most closely together in joint emergency responses the Mayor's office, Police, Fire/EMS, and Hawaii County Civil Defense. 2) The current direction of interoperable communications is jointly developed by the Hawaii Region SCIP/PSIC committee. Including representation by Hawaii County Police, Hawaii County Fire/HAZMAT/EMS, Hawaii County. Data Systems, and Hawaii County Civil Defense. The coordinating group answers directly to the Mayor of Kawaii County. The committee determines the communication .strategy for the County. State agencies will partner through the State's Tactical Interoperability Communications Plan (TICP) and with the NGOs through MOIIs established in conjunction with the region's (TIC P1• ,:, III.D. Baseline - Stakeholder Involvement Provide information on the public safety agencies involved in the Investment Justification Process. (1,024 Char. Max) In regards to direct planning, the major agencies involved in developing the Hawaii Region PSIC plan includes Hawaii County Police, Hawaii County Fire/EMS, Hawaii County. Data Systems, and Hawaii County Civil Defense. The coordinating group reports to the Mayor o£ Hawaii 'County. State, Federal and NGO partners communication assets were surveyed to-gauge adaptability to the overall plan. There are no tribal entities in the State.
