Ventura County Uses RadioSTAT during Swine Flu Testing to Allay Possible Contagion
Last year, Ventura County near, Los Angeles, identified needs that led to ISS' development of the RadioSTAT Portable Emergency Advisory Radio Station. RadioSTAT is used with portable road signs that instruct motorists to tune to a special AM radio frequency for critical information. Each station can quickly be moved into position in an emergency and be operated from a fixed location at other times. Recently, to conduct swine flu testing requested by local physicians, County health officials employed RadioSTAT and signs to instruct patients approaching in cars how to be tested while remaining in their vehicles, thus reducing exposure to the citizens themselves and to health staff. See the story.

Orlando Broadens Outreach
Orlando, Florida, began with 1 ALERT AM station operating from its Emergency Operations Center (see the initial story) then added 3 more strategically located stations, so simulcasts can be heard across the entire City. How? By spreading costs across annual budgets with a grow-able ISS system, i.e., adding GPS Carrier Stabilization connected via Wireless Audio Links and Vertical Profile Antenna Systems to enhance security and design. Proof positive that planning across fiscal years with the right system achieves far-reaching goals.
