Join the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) during Emergency Communications Month for an educational webinar! This webinar will cover Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) Planning, which helps to promote and maintain operability, interoperability, and continuity of emergency communications. PACE Planning supports the Information Communications Technology (ICT) Framework and promotes the three critical components of cyber resilience for risk mitigation, incident recovery, and response.

Maintaining reliable backup emergency communications capabilities is a key component for public safety and critical infrastructure sectors during day-to-day operations and when normal communications are disrupted or degraded. Developing, implementing, and exercising a PACE Plan enhances an organization’s ability to continue to communicate during all-hazards situations. A PACE Plan also helps organizations establish predictable and redundant communications capabilities in changing operational environments.

This webinar will provide PACE Planning best practices and include key insights that can support your planning efforts. The webinar will provide attendees with an understanding about: 1) PACE Planning methods; 2) key initiation triggers; 3) an understanding of what to do when primary communications fail; and 4) ways that agencies can work to develop a multi-agency PACE Plan.
