- Develop an LCES plan of action for your local fire department.
- Describe how you would implement this plan within your local fire department.

Emergency communications begins with the detection of an emergency incident and ends only with the full resolution of the emergency.
An Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Care Communication System must provide the means to use, mobilize, manage and coordinate emergency medical resources during normal and adverse situations. An EMS communications system must integrate sufficient communications paths and operational capabilities to provide access to emergency services or public safety networks.
The state EMS Communications System will use the Washington State Patrol microwave network as its framework. Statewide coverage is obtained by locating repeater sites near selected medical trauma facilities. These sites will not locate with local communications systems, where possible. Selecting different locations with local communications systems should expand local communications coverage and provided redundancy in most cases. The EMS Communications System will use VHF, UHF, satellite and other technologies to maximize its efficiency.
As a two-component system, the EMS Communications System consists of the statewide component that uses the WSP microwave network and local/regional EMS communications system. In the planning of the statewide EMS.
Catastrophic Event Response Planning / Individual Work 5 Week 5: Week Five - Individual Work Instructional Objectives for this activity: Examine the Lookout, Communication, Escape, and Safety (LCES) system. LCES stands for Lookout, Communications, Escape routes, and Safety zone. The main goal of LCES is to facilitate rescue, relief, and recovery. LCES is the template for scene safety protocols and was developed after a wildfire incident. Your individual work this week is to complete the following: · Develop a LCES plan of action for your local fire department. · Describe how you would implement this plan within your local fire department. Using a word processing program, prepare a document that follows APA guidelines and includes: · A paper 1-2 pages in length, double-spaced. You may use your text or the Internet as a reference, but remember to cite your sources according to APA guidelines. Chapter 5, “Logistics,” pages 213-264.
