Keeping Kids Safe is Priority #1 - The Command Center has landed


As we approach our 2nd annual Kids' Day in South Berwick we are fortunate that it continues to grow. Organizations and businesses are stepping up to make sure that we have something for kids of every age. Blain Cote, Capt., CAP Commander of the Seacoast Composite Squadron has stepped forward in two major ways. The first is too help keep our kids safe during the day of the event. We will be positioning an EMA Command Center on Central School grounds near P. Gagnon & Son. This will create a location for kids who become separated from their parents. It is also a great tour for kids and family to discover how technology has advanced in the emergency response field.

"Command-1 is a large command post and has many features that will provide your staff and my EMA staff along with the PD and FD to have as a center of operations. It has a large telescoping camera that we can scan the area, 2 dispatch consoles with 6 different banded radios with cross band repeating capabilities, satellite TV, internet and telephone as well as a conference room. This will provide a safe haven for lost children and allow all radio communications to go through one location. Do you have portable radios for communications? If not, there are plenty on Command-1 and we can set them up for you and your staff. I will have Command-1 staffed and at the location you referenced; we can also let the children go in and tour as well. "
