Good morning,
Please take a moment to nominate a new co-chair for this workgroup! https://houstonuasi.com/technology-work-group-chair-co-chair-survey/ (due March 3).
The following items were discussed at our October Technology Work Group meeting:
- Rick Retz briefed the work group on the Mobile Acceleration Project aimed at increasing collaboration between responders while preserving trust and avoiding siloing issues like we had with land mobile radios in the response to the September 11 terror attack. Slides from his presentation can be found here:
