Training • April 23, 2025 CISA: Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) Planning Webinar

Join the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) during Emergency Communications Month for this educational webinar!

This webinar will cover Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) Planning, which helps to promote and maintain operability, interoperability, and continuity of emergency communications. PACE Planning supports the Information Communications Technology (ICT) Framework and promotes the three critical components of cyber resilience—risk mitigation, incident recovery, and response.

Maintaining reliable backup emergency communications capabilities is essential for public safety and critical infrastructure sectors, during day-to-day operations or when communications are disrupted or degraded. Developing, implementing, and exercising a PACE Plan enhances an organization’s ability to continue to communicate during emergency situations. A PACE Plan also helps organizations establish predictable and redundant communications capabilities in changing operational environments.

This webinar will provide PACE Planning best practices and include key insights to support your planning efforts. The webinar will provide attendees with an understanding about:

• PACE Planning methods;
• Key initiation triggers;
• An understanding of what to do when primary communications fail; and
• Ways that agencies can work to develop a multi-agency PACE Plan

All are invited to participate!
