ITS Element: Other State Public Safety Communications Centers
Description:
This element represents the connection to other States, including County (Sheriff and Fire), and Local (municipal police and fire departments) law enforcement, fire, and EMS call taker and dispatch centers. Communication between these centers uses a mesh topology - any emergency management center can communicate directly with any other emergency management center. Note that this element also represents interfaces to emergency management centers in jurisdictions adjacent to the region that also coordinate during major incidents.
