The Communications Workgroup

The Communications Working Group (CWG) was created as a sub-committee of the Rhode Island Emergency Management Advisory Council when a post-September 11 weapons of mass destruction exercise revealed major emergency communications interoperability shortfalls. The CWG was tasked with developing a systems development plan for a shared land mobile radio (LMR) system for state and local first responders. The CWG has retained the services of a qualified public safety communications engineering consultant, RCC Consultants, Inc. of North Andover, MA, to perform a system needs analysis for local, state, and federal public safety agency wireless communications.
