The National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP) is the nation’s first strategic plan to improve emergency response communications, and complements overarching homeland security and emergency communications legislation, strategies, and initiatives. Developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in cooperation with more than 150 public and private sector emergency communications officials, the NECP addresses gaps and determines solutions so that emergency response personnel at all levels of government and across all disciplines can communicate as needed, on demand, and as authorized.  Learn about how the NECP impacts interoperable emergency communications grant funding, implementation at all levels of government and within the private sector and the future vision for emergency communications.
