Communications and Interoperability Information


Communication Assets Survey and Mapping Tool (CASM)

Login

The CASM tool was released July 18, 2005 for general use by Urban Areas that received grants from the Dept. of Homeland Security.

CASM is composed of two components, CAS - Communications Assets Survey to collect data and CAM - Communications Assets Mapping for interoperability analysis.

The purpose of the tool is to provide access to public safety communications and interoperability. It is a single database that is used to collect information about land mobile radio systems, other interoperability methods and how they are used by public safety agencies within an urban area or state.

Access is controlled, all users must have an individual account and each account has access to the urban area or state that they associated with.

Download the CASM User Application Form and forward to the Ohio EMA Communications branch. Fax it to 614-889-7183 or email it to Dave Ford at rdford@dps.state.oh.us
