Many Counties in KY have applied for and received federal grants to upgrade
their radio systems to reduce this problem. Our county, Lincoln, received
nearly $90,000 to buy radio equipment such as a new public service
repeater, linking radios to the EM repeater network, generators, and
believe it or not, ham radios, including a new repeater for us
(ARES/RACES). Ham radio is still recognized on the federal level as the
"only fail-safe radio communications in America".

The United States Conference of Mayors
(Emergency Services) INTEROPERABILITY SURVEY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
One month after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the nation, The United
States Conference of Mayors brought together more than 200 mayors, police
and fire chiefs, emergency managers and public health officials to
Washington to examine the new and challenging security issues confronting
the vast majority of Americans who live in cities. To examine the
extraordinary costs already incurred by the cities in the weeks following
the attacks, and to examine the even greater costs projected by the cities
as they prepare to take on their new homeland security responsibilities.
The summit meeting of mayors drafted a sweeping "National Action Plan for
Safety and Security in America's Cities" that addressed three primary areas
of concern:
1) transportation security;
2) emergency preparedness, including interoperable communications; and
3) federal/local law enforcement.
One of the foremost issues in the National Action Plan under
"Communications
and Technology" is the urgent need for interoperable communications across
public safety agencies at the local, state, and federal level.
The inability of public safety agencies to be able to talk to one another
via radio communication systems, and exchange voice and/or data with one
another on demand in real time on a day-to-day basis and during major
incidents has been raised by mayors and police chiefs as a continued threat
to achieving homeland security. This was especially evident during our Fall
Leadership Meeting in 2003.
To help us better understand the inability of police, fire, emergency
medical service personnel, and others public safety agencies to communicate
in real time and in turn advocate for the interoperable needs of cities,
The
United States Conference of Mayors decided to undertake this comprehensive
survey.

Additional commentary was offered on disaster management and the need for
communications and interoperability was released on 03/11/96 via the report
