Why it matters
This keeps the radio equipment working that helps police, fire, and rescue teams talk to each other during emergencies like hurricanes, floods, and accidents. When disaster strikes, these mobile command centers help coordinate help to reach families faster.
If this passes
Emergency teams can keep talking to each other during disasters. Mobile command centers stay ready to help coordinate rescue efforts when hurricanes, floods, or accidents happen.
If this does not pass
Radio equipment could break down during emergencies. First responders might have trouble talking to each other, which could slow down help reaching people who need it.
