[FADCA] Anyone familiar with this?

[Chuck Hast]

At a EOC meeting this package was brought up and was asked to look
at:


http://67.101.94.88/client/emergency_service_packet_client.htm

The part that appears to generate the most interest is the FEMA part:
  • FEMA Incident Command System ICS-213 General Message format.
  • Automatic matching of responses to ICS-213 messages without
     retransmission of original message.
Is any of this supported in the winlink link? The support of the messaging
format is what has them interested, I have asked the person who brought
it to me to try to set it up and test it as it maybe limited to one protocol
set (SEDAN's TheNet) and we would want it to be able to travel over
any of them that are available, from hf to light. Remember that our
switch sites are multi-protocol and though most of us have not turned
on or brought into play the others they are there for the most part (Flex
execepted as the germans would not release the protocol so you have
to use a bolt on that is a separate stack) IP, NetRom, ROSE, Appletalk,
X.25 and many others along with the HF stuff, so if this will work over
multiple protocols there is interest in using it for inter-agency messaging
due to the ics-213 message format.

If you google • FEMA Incident Command System ICS-213, you will get
a whole listing of sections for this very comprehensive system used by
FEMA.

I am wondering what we would need to do in order for winlink to support
it?
