Emergency Services Task Force Strategic Planning Group (of the Emergency
Services Committee) was made by Fred Cwik, ITSA
Ken Brooke then reviewed the open issues and action items. These
will be mostly disposed of via the email reflector between now and the
next meeting.
Issues
1. Incident Management Definition - traffic centric or highway
incident centric or public safety centric - scenario based?
2. Message Sets' relationship with National Architecture Information
Flows
3. Interoperability - with external systems, internal systems,
legacy systems
4. NCIC/FBI - data dictionary
5. Centers versus Systems - places versus subsystems versus collections
of functionality
Action Item Summary & Status:
1. Allied Agency interfaces - this is actually related to the
continuing architectural discussions, below.
2. Finish Architectural Discussions - in support of the block
update being done prior to the ITSA annual meeting.
3. Location Referencing concerns - John Lau will coordinate with
the LRMS task force.
4. Collect data elements from everywhere - Subcommittee Chairpersons
to funnel to our consultants.
