The Department of Homeland Security released the 2014 National Emergency Communications Plan, which replaces the 2008 version of the Plan. There have been ongoing changes in the communications landscape, most prevalent in policy, legislation, budget conditions, and technologies. “The National Emergency Communications Plan is a strategic national emergency communications plan that promotes communication and sharing of information across all levels of government, jurisdictions, disciplines, and organizations for all threats and hazards, as needed and when authorized.” The Plan is organized into 3 sections: Emergency Communications Landscape, National Emergency Communications Plan Strategic Components, and Implementation and Measurement.
