Resilient Communications for Emergency Response Ohio
Resilient Communications for
Emergency Response
Ineffective communications put responders in the field at risk, and can mean the difference between life and death for those awaiting help. Too often, inadequate and unreliable communication systems compromise emergency responders’ ability to respond effectively to incidents that range from day-to-day operations to large-scale emergencies.
Emergency management, law enforcement, fire response, and emergency medical services responders rely on communications technology for support in dangerous and rapidly changing environments. Innovative solutions and advancements in new technologies are helping keep emergency responders safe while protecting the public.
Join us for this very informative and interactive event!
