Focus Area
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) supports and promotes communications capabilities used by emergency responders and government officials across the country. In its efforts to advance interoperability, CISA develops the National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP), which is the nation's strategic plan that establishes goals, objectives, and actions to enhance and improve interoperable and operable emergency communications. The NECP recommends improved planning and coordination across the Emergency Communications Ecosystem, including emergency medical personnel within the whole community.
To aid in NECP implementation, Congress authorized CISA to establish the Rural Emergency Medical Communications Demonstration Project (REMCDP) that leverages existing technologies and engages non-medical professionals to help establish or sustain statewide medical communications systems and use existing infrastructure to improve the delivery of rural medical care.
