Radio Frequency Sharing Sample Clauses

Radio Frequency Sharing. Each Protecting Agency Area/Zone/Forest has local frequencies on which they operate. The Interagency Fire Dispatch Centers for that Area/Zone/Forest are responsible for assigning and tracking incident frequencies, and all resources assigned to an incident are permitted to use assigned frequencies. The DNR and AFS have agreed to share assigned frequencies for the purpose of initial response, logistical support, preparedness, and administrative traffic on a non-interfering basis. DNR and USFS have a similar agreement. Additionally, AFS and DNR agree to make every effort to have the same channel line-up and radio configurations in their fire radios. To facilitate interagency communications, there are interagency frequencies approved for use during an incident response. Contact the AICC Communications Coordinator (Reference the AIMG for information on how to request additional dedicated radio frequencies for use during extended response.) All agencies will coordinate the deployment of equipment using frequency assignments with the principle licensee to avoid frequency/interference conflict. At Alaska Preparedness Level 4 & 5 or as fire activity warrants a statewide interagency Communications Coordinator is activated and assigned to the AICC. Frequency sharing agreements between individual agencies exist outside of this agreement. One such agreement allows for the DNR and AFS to share frequencies. AFS has agreements in place with the DOI agencies that allows sharing of some frequencies. The AFS/DOI Frequency Sharing Agreements do not permit use of these frequencies by other agencies without authorization of the owning agency or the AFS Chief, Branch of Communications.
