3.1Communications When Responding Outside Normal Service Area

When responding to incidents outside your normal service area, you need to know how to contact Incident Command when you get near the incident location. If no information was provided at the time of initial dispatch to the remote incident, you should attempt to determine while en route what radio channel to use upon arrival. Information in the OKFOG can assist.

3.1.1Know Your Interoperability Channels

You need to know the frequency band (800 MHz, UHF, VHF Low Band, or VHF High Band) of your radios and what interoperability channels are programmed into the radios.

Use the Responder Radio Information pages in the front of this guide to list the mutual aid channels programmed into your radio(s).

3.1.2Identify Channels Used in County of Incident

Section 4, County Emergency Interoperable Communications, lists calling channels available in each county. This section also lists the primary communications centers in each county, the frequency bands/systems used by each communications center for mutual aid, and the telephone number of each center.

3.1.3Using Calling Channels

As you approach the incident scene, you should attempt to make contact on one of the designated “calling channels” in the following priority:

National Mutual Aid Direct–VCALL10, UCALL40D or 8CALL90D (ICALLD prior to rebanding).
National Mutual Aid Repeater Mode for UHF and 800 MHz–UCALL40 or 8CALL90 (ICALL prior to rebanding).
Oklahoma Common Channels–VHF users should try calling on their discipline-specific Oklahoma mutual aid channel, STATE LAW (OKLAW1), STATE FIRE (OKFIRE1), STATE LG MA (OKLGMA1) or HEARS [EMS] (VMED28). If there is no contact on one channel, such as STATE LAW, try the other channel, in this case OKLAW1.

RESPONDERS MAY BE DIRECTED TO OTHER MUTUAL AID CHANNELS FOR INCIDENT OPERATIONS AFTER MAKING INITIAL CONTACT OR CHECKING IN.

3.2Plain Language

All incident communications shall be in plain language. Radio codes, acronyms, and abbreviations are to be avoided as they may cause confusion between agencies.
Plain words such as “help,” “assistance,” and “backup” may have different operational meanings to different agencies.

The words “emergency traffic” should be used in the context of a life-threatening situation.

The word “help” should not be used alone unless in the context of a life-threatening situation.

Requests for assistance or backup should specify the reason(s) for the request and be acknowledged by someone.

3.3Identification Procedures

When using interoperable resources, emergency responders should use the following identification procedures:
The agency name or identifier shall precede the unit identifier.

For non-federal agencies in Oklahoma, the standard way of calling another unit/ICS position is to identify your call sign, followed by the call sign of the unit you are calling. (For example, “Moore Engine 14, Highway Patrol 1614” or “Division B, XAL Strike Team 2001C” or “4 Charlie Baker, Tulsa Battalion 3.”) This process is critical, especially when a unit is broadcasting an emergency.

Units must use their agency-assigned unit designator during transmissions. These should not be shortened and should include the entire set of letters and/or numbers.

Base stations should identify themselves by using their agency name along with any other usual identifier.

When neighboring agencies operating on different radio systems respond to mutual aid incidents, units should finish their broadcast with the channel on which they are transmitting. (For example, “Oklahoma City Engine 51, Division B on SMA3” or “Operations, Division A on OKFIRE1.”)

3.4Encryption

The use of any mutual aid channel for transmission of any encoded, encrypted, or scrambled message is prohibited.

4County emergency Interoperable Communications

This section lists, by county, the county seat, any cities with populations over 10,000, the calling channels in use in the respective county, the 24-hour communications centers and telephone numbers, and the frequency bands and/or trunked radio systems used for mutual aid by each center.
The primary frequency band in use in the respective county is offset by asterisks ( * * ), with the calling channels listed in a shaded block.
The primary frequency band or trunked radio system used for mutual aid by a respective communications center is in bold.
