NASEMSO Endorses "Plain Language" White Paper
In conjunction with the SAFECOM Emergency Response Council, NASEMSO has formally adopted the phrase "We support radio practices that minimize or eliminate coded substitutions for English" and recognizes this message as an important step to addressing public safety communications interoperability.
SAFECOM is a communications program of the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC.) For more information on the ERC or the Plain Language White Paper, contact NASEMSO Program Advisor, Kevin McGinnis at mcginnis@nasemso.org.
