the CMAS integration strategy in areas such as:

§  Organizational: Including usage authorization, training, budgeting,
and governance planning

decisions on having a stand-alone or integrated CMAS system

§  Operational: Including determining when CMAS should be used and
coordinating with other systems and jurisdictions

DHS identify the gaps and barriers to adopting CMAS under different
scenarios.
