Plain Language Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

July 6, 2010

Last year the Office of Emergency Communications (EOC) sponsored a Plain Language working Group. This working group which included the Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC) - Steven Mallory from Maine, developed the Plain Language Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to highlight key challenges presented when moving from coded substitutions to plain language, along with examples of how agencies have handled these challenges in the past. I am pleased to announce the Plain Language Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are now available on the SAFECOM website.
