While advances in interoperable communciations technologies are critical to solving this problem long term, the oprganizational and operational issues are equally important. This is particularly true when trying to foster cooperation and communication between groups who are ofter at odds and fight to maintain their status and territory (i.e. police and fire). As an example, look at the roughly $500 billion that has been spent on interoperable communications in NYC.
