Presented by: Peter Lamb

Presentation Date: Tue 06/25/13 - 12:00 PM CDT

Sponsored by: Verizon Wireless

This webcast will discuss the actual meaning of interoperability beyond the equipment that most responders associate with the phrase. Chief Peter Lamb will review the term and apply it to the people, procedures and equipment used by fire departments, mutual aid partners and other agencies. Webcast attendees will understand how to implement interoperability and grow it locally to neighbors and other key agencies. Interagency and inter-department operations will be discussed along with a streamlined unified command to give the participant a great foundation to be able to make changes within their organization.
