Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) spent more than $5 billion for the purchase of radio equipment by public-safety agencies from fiscal 2012 through 2014. However, the RFP specified that federal, state and local agencies “should” not must meet the voluntary standards worked out over more than a decade by government and industry officials.
As a result, we still have situations like that of 9/11 where more than 100 firefighters didn’t hear an order to evacuate the South Tower of the World Trade Center and lost their lives when it collapsed.
