The document outlines the hurricane communications planning process at the state level which involves: 1) Identifying current communication means and how providers will support disaster response as well as identifying communication needs for agency functions and hurricane response. 2) Constructing assumptions about communication resources available during a hurricane and which resources will need to communicate. 3) Constructing a matrix to identify communication method commonalities and gaps to be filled, drawing on mutual aid mechanisms like the National Interoperability Field Operations Guide.
