▶ Show Critical Steps & Key Actions
| Step | Critical Element | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| A.1 | Ensure Secondary Communicator has copy of ICMF | CUE: Secondary Communicator is not available to assist |
| 15.a * | Notify NJ State Police via NETS (dial 5400) | Selects NETS phone, dials 5400, correctly reads sections I thru V of the ICMF form to SGT Smith, records notification information, waits for repeat back |
| 15.b * | Verify NJ notification successful, proceed to Salem County | Determines Step 15.a was successful and proceeds to Salem County, Cumberland County |
| 15.e * | Notify Delaware State Police / DEMA via NETS (dial 5406) | ALTERNATE PATH: Primary (NETS 5406) does not respond. Secondary (302-659-2341) does not respond. NAWAS does not respond. Operator determines Step 15.e is NOT SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED and performs Steps 15.f-g. |
| 15.f * | Notify New Castle County via NETS (dial 5408) — alternate contact for Delaware | Selects NETS phone, dials 5408, correctly reads sections I thru V of the ICMF form to Tom Grey (New Castle County), records notification information, waits for repeat back |
| 15.g * | Notify Kent County via NETS (dial 5409) | Selects NETS phone, dials 5409, correctly reads sections I thru V of the ICMF form to Joe Black (Kent County), records notification information, waits for repeat back |
Key Decision Point:
Step 15.e is the discriminating step (alternate path). Delaware State Police cannot be reached on any of the three contact methods (NETS primary, secondary phone number, NAWAS backup). The applicant must recognize that the notification was NOT successfully completed and proceed to Steps 15.f-g to notify Delaware counties (New Castle County and Kent County) directly as the alternate path. The 15-minute time limit makes this time-critical — the applicant cannot spend excessive time attempting to reach Delaware State Police before moving to the alternates.
