Emergency agencies get radios in Livingston

LIVINGSTON � Livingston Parish has distributed 234 hand-held radios to various emergency agencies to make sure they can talk to each other during hurricanes and other disasters, officials said Monday.

The radios should prevent the kinds of communications problems that occurred in some parts of the state after Hurricane Katrina, said Mark Benton, executive director of the parish�s Office of Emergency Preparedness.

Radios have been programmed and given to all of the law enforcement agencies, fire departments and other agencies that need to respond to emergencies, he said.

In addition to numerous parish agencies being able to talk to each other, the radios make it possible for local agencies to communicate with agencies from other parishes and emergency responders from other states, Benton said.

Another big advantage is that the radios aren�t dependent on local towers, Denham Springs Police Chief Scott Jones said.

A tower can go out �and we still can talk to each other,� he said.

The radios work on a chain of towers, so a lot of towers would have to go out for them to become inoperable, said Ronnie Cotton, who heads the parish�s 911 center.

�It will give us another coin in our pocket when we try to start fighting one of these hurricanes.� Cotton said.

The parish has 64 additional radios that will be distributed within the �next couple of weeks as soon as they are programmed,� Benton said.

The programming is different for different agencies, he said.

Some channels are common to all of the emergency agencies and some are specific to law enforcement agencies, Benton said.

The parish purchased the radios at a cost of $704,000 with funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the OEP director said.

Benton said he hopes additional grant money will be made available for the purchase of more radios.

Realization of the need for such radios came after Katrina, Benton said. Responders from different parts of the state and nation who came to help couldn�t communicate with each other or with local agencies, he said.

800 MHz "help!"

Good Afternoon....

The temperature's is 70+, the Sun is shining and their is a light wind here in the Shreveport area. We are expecting more rain later tonight or early Monday morning. :( Sniddy-rot-ah-futz! .

I hope all is well with each of you and your families. I'm recovering from the flu, after I got my flu shot. (??????)

Now, I know most of you live in S. Louisiana and are paying attention to the LA. WIN stuff on 700 MHz. I don't have a scanner, as yet to monitor this and they are finally working in North Louisiana on the 700 MHZ network here. They say, it appears that it will take a year to eighteen months to get it operational :confused: You'd figure that since they put it together in South Louisiana, it would go together the same way. But then, this might be a Govement Project which means 10 years from now, :roll::lol:.

But, I have a question concerning the 800 MHz frequency assignments for some licenses. For instance: WNII-533. It has transmitter sites listed in Rosepine, (Vernon); Jena, (La Salle); Ringgold,(Bienville) and Bridge City,(Jefferson). IF I program my scanner with all the frequencies, will I get ALL the radio traffic from each transmitter site? I'm really NOT interested to listen to Jefferson, Vernon, La Salle parishes, unless there is severe wx there or a possible disaster (I pray not). The F.C.C. ULS database doesn't list control frequencies, so it's hard to know what to program in my R$ Pro-95. :(

Can someone enlighten me as to what to do to only receive Ringgold and leave off the others? This can also pertain to the State's new LAWIN set-up as well. Are they ALL going to be interconnected? I can see having the ability to check with other nearby areas for possible flight of a subject, but a car chase in Ringgold would not certainly need the help of those in Cameron Parish, maybe Webster, Bossier or Bienville, but not near the Gulf, :lol:

Doing database work as I can and still packing and moving.

Thanking you in advance,
GOD BLESS,
73,
