One of the needs that was made apparent during Hurricane Katrina, the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, and most recently Superstorm Sandy with respect to emergency communications was which of the following?
the need to turn over authority for managing any serious event to the federal government
there was no need that became apparent; everything worked perfectly following these events
the need for every agency from fire to police to have their own dedicated communication network
the need for interoperability—the ability for every emergency response service from police to fire and medical to communicate with one another on the same frequency
