| END OF PROJECT SUMMARY |
After a successful relationship, the “interim” designation became a permanent arrangement. The number of regional incidents communicated to TRANSCOM from member agencies for dissemination to other agencies steadily increased. Discussions about responsibilities, what agencies want to know about which incidents, etc. were facilitated so that procedures were adopted that respected the needs and autonomy of the agencies, while still providing a valuable interagency service. TRANSCOM handled 6,482 statewide (outside the 29 county TRANSCOM region) incidents for the I-95 Corridor Coalition out of a total of 30,061 incidents TRANSCOM managed in 2004. TRANSCOM also operated the Coalition’s Interim Communications Center 24 hours/day, 7 days/week during 2004. Deliverables: TRANSCOM handled 6,482 incidents, maintained the logs, monitored the databases, and provided the 24-hour support line. |
|
| ACTIONS |
During 2004, TRANSCOM has become intimately familiar with the needs of the I-95 CC agencies, particularly the operational and technical issues they face. TRANSCOM has built an important relationship with each of the IEN users and with agency operational staff. TRANSCOM has also demonstrated the value of incident management and interagency notification. |
