The Wisconsin Office of Emergency Communications is currently in the process of developing a request for proposal for a statewide, shared interoperable radio communications system.
Currently, public safety agencies, like emergency responders, use the Wisconsin Interoperable System for Communications, or WISCOM, to communicate during major disasters or large-scale incidents, said Lori Getter, crisis communications manager for Wisconsin Emergency Management.
Some public safety agencies use it on a daily basis, she said.
The current system is reaching the end of its life cycle, Getter said. The cost for the new system will be determined by the RFP responses.
Beginning the week of June 11, the OEC will host regional listening sessions and interviews throughout the state to gather feedback from public safety agencies that use the system, operate their own radio system, or anyone interested in joining the new statewide radio system in the future.
Two sessions are scheduled in the Milwaukee area on June 12 at Waukesha County EOC, 1621 Woodburn Road, Waukesha, from 8 to 10 a.m. and at Walworth County Government Center, Room 214, 100 W. Walworth St., Elkhorn, from 1 to 3 p.m.
