Chenango creates back up for 911 dispatch
NORWICH– The Chenango County Emergency Operations Center will be duplicating its operations in order to meet a state grant’s requirements. The county’s dispatch center received over a million dollars worth of aid from two separate grants in 2005.
Requirements for those grants include creating a back up center in case the first was forced to close down and be phase two compliant for wireless technologies.
The current 911 center is located across from the courthouse in the old county jail building. The back up center will be maintained by the county as well and will be located in the back on the second floor at the Norwich Police Department on East Main Street.
“The city has been working well with the county since 2003,” said A. Jones, the City’s Emergency Management Officer. “The work on the second center should be complete in about two months.”
“We are in the process of building an alternate emergency operations center that will have some of the same capabilities and equipment as the primary one. This was mandated by the New York State 911 board,” said Matt Beckwith, deputy director of the Emergency Management Office.
“It will only run in the event of the closure of the first station. We’d move everybody over there,” said Beckwith. The second station will not require any additional personnel and the expense is covered by state grants.
“This really is a great thing for us, we’ve got a lot of work to do but when it’s finished it will be continually running and ready to go, so if it was needed, al
