Perry County officials are working to ensure the safety of the community.
Officials signed a mutual aid agreement to help in emergency situations.
Perry County Judge-Executive Scott Alexander said with the help of a grant, they will purchase new radios that fire, police, 911 and EMS officials can communicate on.
“We could share the radio signals with them and have all of our first responders on the same channels that they are on. So, it’s a great grant and it brings about a better response for this community,” he said.
He said it is important for first responders to be on the same page.
“And when you’ve got all of them on the same channel, you can hear what each agency is doing. It makes their response times and interactions in the disaster much better,” he added.
