Northwest Wisconsin alliance receives $470,000 grant to improve emergency radio communications

 

Emergency management officials in 30 western Wisconsin counties will soon be able to communicate simultaneously during an emergency through a $470,000 homeland security grant. The funding will be used to expand the West Central Interoperability Alliance’s (WCIA) Radio over IP network to 12 additional county dispatch and emergency operation centers.

“The ability of our emergency responders to communicate during a disaster is one of the most critical components of an effective and safe emergency response,” said OJA Executive Director David Steingraber. “This grant will bring innovative Radio over IP technology to more than one-third of the state’s counties, greatly enhancing local emergency communications.”
