State Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC)
Governor Blunt issued an executive order reorganizing the State Interoperability Executive Committee (SIEC), placing it under the HSAC as an official sub-committee. The executive order further required a state communications strategic plan be developed and presented to the Governor by October 15, 2006. The strategic plan has been approved by the Governor. DPS, with input from the SIEC and members of the Regional Homeland Security Oversight Committees, prepared the plan. The SIEC has established three sub-committees to begin the process of developing an operational plan to implement the principles of the state communications strategic plan.
The SIEC strategic plan outlines a draft to establish and maintain a radio communications environment for publicsafety and critical infrastructure in Missouri.
