FEMA 2011 Minot, North Dakota
In a disaster situation, communications between FEMA, federal, state and local agencies is critical. During life saving operations, preparations and recovery efforts, it's important that members of emergency management team communicate with one another in real time. FEMA was in Minot, North Dakota, prior to the flooding and provided radios to each agency involved in the flood fight, all operating in a single frequency, enabling cross communications with all.
This scenario required FEMA to furnish radios to each agency.
STACS® Solution - STACS® enables each agency, to use their existing radio assets to communicate with ALL members of emergency response teams.
