Inadequate communication systems costs lives.
Here it is 10 years after the attacks on 9/11 and first responders still cannot communicate with each other during disasters. The lack of interoperability in communications came to the public's attention during 9/11 and also during Katrina. It cost lives, not only the lives of citizens but the lives of a number of first responders, as well. The papers were full of the details of this lack of communications capability, and the 9/11 Commission cited correction of this defect as one of its major recommendations. '''
