PACE emergency communications worksheet — Primary, Alternate, Contingency, Emergency. Saves locally on your device. Works offline after your first visit.
Plan four layers of communications so one failure doesn't leave you silent. Auto-saves on this device. When you deploy, transfer frequencies into ICS-205 for the operational period.
ICS-205 link: Each PACE layer should map to at least one row on ICS-205 (channel, tone, assignment). COML delivers both — see COML hub.
Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency — four layers of communications so one failure does not leave you silent.
Before deployment, at home base, or when staging for an incident — not after comms have already failed.
