Enabling Interoperable Public Safety Communications
Emergencies don’t recognize boundaries and when a crisis hits, agencies from all points on the compass come to the call for mutual aid. However, public safety agencies have struggled to enable first responders from multiple disciplines, jurisdictions, and levels of government to communicate during emergencies. EMS1 is proud to partner with Cisco to provide a free, downloadable PDF eSupplement with valuable information for emergency communications.
