safety communications program. In an
effort to resolve major communications
issues identified during the September
11, 2001, terrorist attacks, SAFECOM
was created as a Presidential EGovernment Initiative to improve
interoperability, allowing emergency
responders to communicate more
effectively before, during, and after
emergencies and disasters.
Through collaboration with
emergency responders and elected
officials across all levels of government,
SAFECOM works to improve emergency
response providers’ inter-jurisdictional
and interdisciplinary emergency
communications interoperability across
local, regional, tribal, State, territorial,
international borders, and with Federal
government entities. SAFECOM works
with existing Federal communications
programs and key emergency response
stakeholders to address the need to
develop better technologies and
processes for the coordination of
existing communications systems and
future networks.
The SAFECOM Membership
Questionnaire is an internal SAFECOM
document disseminated only to active
SAFECOM Members. SAFECOM uses
the Questionnaire to identify
membership gaps, obtain updated
information on SAFECOM’s
membership body (e.g., public safety
communications experience, accolades,
acquired skills/certifications, etc.),
update SAFECOM marketing materials,
and to assist SAFECOM when
responding General Accounting Office
(GAO) inquiries.
The DHS/CISA/ECD will disseminate
the SAFECOM Membership
Questionnaire to active SAFECOM
Members as a fillable PDF document.
