"The purpose....is to strengthen regional and interstate relationships by providing new linkages among Southwestern Ohio-Southeastern Indiana-Northern Kentucky (SOSINK) regional partners to achieve six critical outcomes, which are: to create a Regional Emergency Operations Plan (REOP). This will facilitate partners working off identical plans and enhance efforts for the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) implementation; to ensure mutual aid compacts are multidisciplinary and multi-jurisdictional (both intrastate and interstate); to link Emergency Operation Centers (EOCs), via electronic/web-based systems, ensuring real time access to threat and resource availability information. "This will allow the 'common picture' of an incident to be regionally shared; to establish regional participation in the design, production and evaluation of training programs and exercises, ensuring a regional approach to response coordination; to ensure regional collaboration and coordination by holding multi-jurisdictional quarterly meetings to oversee implementation of investments and other priorities; and to collaborate with other Ohio UASI regions".
