The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) is pleased to announce that the FY 2015 SAFECOM Guidance on Emergency Communications Grants (SAFECOM Guidance) has been posted to the SAFECOM website at: http://www.dhs.gov/safecom. The FY 2015 SAFECOM Guidance is updated annually to provide the most current information on emergency communications policies, eligible costs, technical standards, and best practices for State, territorial, tribal, and local grantees investing Federal funds in emergency communications projects.

The SAFECOM Guidance continues to evolve to reflect the emergency communications ecosystem and meet the needs of the public safety community.  This year’s Guidance has been updated to reflect the 2014 National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP) goals and objectives and the inclusion of all emergency communications capabilities, standards, and resources.  As key stakeholders in the emergency communications community, thank you for your contribution to this year’s Guidance and helping us ensure that emergency communications policy is consistent across the Federal government.

For questions or additional information on the FY 2015 SAFECOM Guidance, please email OEC at: oec@hq.dhs.gov.
