This Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TICP) is subject to information and/or equipment updates and changes. The use of this Record of Change helps manage TICP modifications throughout the life of this document. All attempts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information within this TICP as of the initial distribution date. Any subsequent adjustments should be logged and coordinated with user agencies within this Rhode Island Providence UASI.
Preface

This document establishes a Tactical Interoperable Communications Plan (TICP) for the State of Rhode Island, inclusive of Rhode Island Homeland Security Region [Region 1]. 

The TICP 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.

See Appendix I for a list of resources available to assist in preparing/updating the TICP.
