What is this going to be, anybody know?
Orange County NY to improve first responder radio coverage with state grant
GOSHEN – The state Division of Homeland Security has awarded Orange County $6 million to improve its emergency radio communications system.
County Emergency Services Commissioner Walter Koury said the grant will be used to upgrade the county’s communication infrastructure, but goes beyond that to link all area counties together.
The money will also be used to link emergency communications between the counties of Orange, Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster and Sullivan so they can communicate between one another in an extremely large emergency situation, Koury said.
Part of the grant will also be used for Orange County to improve its emergency communications so police, fire and EMS agencies within the county can communicate directly with one another.
