Town Joins County
Emergency Radio Program
Last Updated: December 8, 2011
The Board voted a reluctant 5-0 in favor of opting into the Dane County’s emergency management radio system “DaneCom.”
The Board decided to accept the agreement, which runs through 2015, because voting no would mean exclusion from the countywide emergency radio network. The reason for Board members’ reluctance to join rested with Dane County’s decision to apply the program’s expense to its municipality budgets rather than its own budget.
DaneCom will work with local municipalities to allow emergency service providers throughout the county to talk with one another.
