February 2010 ii FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Las Vegas Urban Area/Southern Nevada Tactical Interoperability Communications Plan Version 3.0 February 2010 Executive Overview This document establishes a Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TIC Plan) for the Las Vegas Urban Area/Southern Nevada Operating Area. The TIC Plan is intended to document the interoperable communications resources available within the designated area, who controls each resource, and what rules of use or operational procedures exist for the activation and deactivation of each resource. The TIC Plan therefore consolidates information across agencies, disciplines, and jurisdictions by documenting regional communications capabilities in order to provide a usable and accurate regional tactical incident response tool. Creation and maintenance of a TIC Plan is a requirement of the U. S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Preparedness Directorate originally published in the 2005 Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program.
