A hot, sunny Florida day isn't an occasion where public safety issues like an aging radio communications system or cramped quarters at the Brevard County Emergency Operations Center create a sense of urgency.

But Hurricane Irene, which lapped at the Space Coast from 200 miles off shore this past week, was close enough to expose these two critical weaknesses identified in the county's emergency response system.

Isn't their $10M upgrade and expansion also called a critical weakness. We could overfund them and they would cry for more.
