00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:10.466
Miller: I think it's really important for DHS to reach into all levels

3
00:00:10.466 --> 00:00:14.433
and all jurisdictions of responder communities.

4
00:00:14.433 --> 00:00:17.666
Reach us at every level from urban to rural, suburban.

5
00:00:17.666 --> 00:00:20.633
And we need to bring everybody together and start to look at

6
00:00:20.633 --> 00:00:25.633
problems on a scale that one solution fits the many, or as many as possible.

7
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.566
Cunningham: Southeast Ohio is primarily rural and volunteer

8
00:00:40.566 --> 00:00:44.266
and those are some of the communities now that

9
00:00:44.266 --> 00:00:49.266
really need to have those type of equipment and technology.

10
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:01.766
Cunningham: We have seen, you know, active shooter events happen everywhere.

11
00:01:01.766 --> 00:01:05.900
Chemical exposures, natural disasters happen everywhere.

12
00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:10.200
And while often the metropolitan areas have all the resources

13
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.599
and then certainly the manpower to test some of these things,

14
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.766
I'm very interested to see how that would support

15
00:01:16.766 --> 00:01:20.466
our volunteer and rural communities, too.

16
00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:25.700
Cunningham: Those citizens deserve

17
00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:30.700
the exact same level of public safety as people do in the cities.
