The Mission of Prairie SHIELD Alliance: "The Prairie SHIELD partners shall endeavor to collaborate and seek the most cost-effective and efficient means to allow first responders or related public entities to communicate on a voice, date or video platform with interoperable capability. In implementing this mission, Prairie SHIELD shall act as a unified group and assist other similar efforts at the state and national level to accomplish this goal."
The events of September 11, 2001 and Hurricane Katrina have reinforced the responsibility of Local governments to protect the life and property of its citizens. First responders must be prepared to react to possible terror incidents as well as natural disasters. Critical to this mission is the technology used by first responders and related agencies to communicate, share information, and function together. Recent advances in technology will enable first responders to speak, exchange data, and even use video all on one platform both at the scene and at remote command/dispatch centers. With this long term goal in mind, Prairie SHIELD Regional Alliance was formed.
