Missouri Statewide Interoperability Network

MOSWIN is a statewide interoperability network that enables effective communication during emergencies. It provides internal communication for state agencies and facilitates cooperation among various responders. Besides state agencies, it benefits law enforcement, fire and EMS, public safety, hospitals, and more. St. Louis County ARES offers a complementary emergency service using Ham Radio technology. In case of infrastructure failure, alternative communication methods like social media can be crucial. Stay informed about upcoming educational opportunities.
