Jared nailed it on the head. It is absolutely critical to get to
know who
your State JFO POC is, State EOC POC, and have the National
Communication
Systems Hotline on speed dial or at least in your cell. They can help
facilitate needs such as getting human resources from your company
or mutual
aide in to help with a crisis (credentialing issues), fuel trucks,
and other
supplies as needed.
Also you might want to check to see if your company has a govt.
affairs
person within your organization who might all ready have a lot of
this info
and the contacts to assist.
I think there's something else to make note of.
NCS wants to make sure that a number of the ISPs and critical
infrastructure operators have WPS/GETS available to the people who
rightly need them. If you're not sure, give them a ring and chat with
them about what resources you should have at your disposal. If there
is a major communication disruption, this may help your operations
team communicate.
You can fill out the forms online at gets.ncs.gov
