It provides SOPs for the use of interoperable communications resources by emergency responders. 1.1How to Use the OKFOGThe OKFOG may be used by emergency responders when requiring radio interoperability on statewide and regional radio channels. When using these shared resources, emergency responders should follow the SOPs provided herein. The OKFOG also provides communications guidance for response to incidents using the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS). This guide provides technical information for radio technicians when programming interoperable channels in radios. It is recommended that all public safety agencies have these channels programmed in radios rather than waiting until a disaster is imminent or occurring to do the programming. The OKFOG may also be of use to emergency communications planners. 1.2Established Emergency Communications PlansThe OKFOG is the statewide guide for possible use in a situation where no other radio interoperability arrangement was promulgated by local authorities or where emergency responders are unaware of such an arrangement. The OKFOG does NOT supersede any Federal, State, tribal, local, or regional emergency communications plan. If you are dispatched to a disaster or incident scene and have no other information on how to make contact with other emergency responders, the OKFOG provides SOPs and identifies mutual aid radio channels that may be used to make initial contact. Remainder of this page left blank. 2incident command system (Ics)ICS, as a part of NIMS, is a standard, on-scene, all-hazards incident management concept and shall be used during all incidents in the state of Oklahoma. The ICS organization is both modular and flexible. In many incidents not all ICS positions will be required. For example, when the incident does not require implementation of a Logistics Section, the communications function will report directly to Incident or Unified Command. Likewise, at the onset of an incident, the Communications Unit Leader (COML) may report directly to Incident or Unified Command when a Logistics Section is not yet operational. The following page contains a basic ICS organizational structure that might be used in response to an incident requiring a multi-agency, multi-disciplinary, and/or multi-jurisdictional response. 
When directed to respond to an incident where ICS has been established and you have not been given an assignment, check-in location or communications instructions, you should use following the guidelines:
