Welcome

Emergency responders cannot always communicate during crisis situations. The State Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC) works to ensure all emergency responders can share information via voice and data signals on demand, in real time, when needed, and as authorized. This is the definition of Interoperability.

In addition to major disasters, there are a number of emergencies that can happen in any community on any day requiring seamless radio connections and data sharing including school shootings, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, fires and crimes.

The SIEC aids all levels of government to achieve interoperability as established by legislation in 2003 and functions as a subcommittee of the Information Services Board (ISB).

SIEC members represent a number of agencies divided nearly evenly
between state and local jurisdictions.
