Macht, Chairman <br />Attest <br />Jeffrey K. Barton, Clerk <br />66. a4q aja')aA S' I o. (2. <br />Chairman Macht expressed concern that when the electrical power fails, there is no <br />way to get information out to the citizens concerning local storm and other emergency <br />conditions. He requested that staff work with the radio stations so that people with battery - <br />powered radios can be informed about local conditions. <br />Director Wright responded that this concern had come up after Hurricane Floyd and, <br />quite frankly, he and his staff had been unable to satisfy this concern since they were <br />otherwise occupied in the aftermath of that hurricane. There had been good plans in place <br />until some of the local radio stations changed ownership. <br />Emergency Management Coordinator Nathan McCollum reported that he has been <br />working with the School District in order to try to establish a solution to simulcast the <br />televised advisories on radio. The problem was an inability to attain computer compatibility. <br />He assured the Board he is continuing to work on solving this problem. <br />Director Wright commented further that his department would be bringing something <br />back to the Board, but forewarned them it would not be inexpensive. <br />Nevertheless, Commissioner Ginn felt it needed to be done. <br />October 19, 1999 <br />62 <br />`I <br />
