U.S. offers $968 million for disaster technology grants
The U.S. government is offering $968 million in grants to help state and local public-safety agencies buy sophisticated radios and technology for communications during disasters, the Department of Commerce said Wednesday. The grants can also be used for software and services according to the article.
The program aims to equip police and fire departments, and other emergency agencies in all 50 states, with more dependable and interoperable communications. Funding for the grants will come from expected proceeds of the Federal Communications Commission's 700-megahertz spectrum auction, scheduled for later this year.
