Only 4 US cities ready for crisis

Only 4 US cities have emergency communications gear allowing police, fire and medical officials to coordinate fully during a crisis, a federal report said.

That is only for major cities. The same status was awarded to smaller metropolitan areas of Sioux Falls, SD and Laramie Wyoming.

Said Billy Joe Frasier the chief of police for Laramie, "I don't know what the big deal is, Jimmie James (fire chief) and Big Phil (head of the largest and only hospital in Laramie) have never had any problems talking to eachother. We just use a regular CB, heck only about 10 people in town have 'em".
