Emergency Interagency Communication System

Year

Number
NR15

Whereas local government and regional district emergency first responders have no central interagency communication system to verify the validity of call outs between all emergency agencies; And whereas this places smaller local governments at risk with unnecessary call outs given the shortage of emergency first responder resources and personnel: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM lobby the provincial and federal governments to provide access to the RCMP Central Emergency Communication System for all Provincial Emergency Services to improve field communications and prevent un-necessary call outs.
