Radio station receives emergency alert system
By Jake Palmateer
Staff Writer

ONEONTA _ Emergency officials and local leaders in Oneonta now have the
ability to speak directly to the public during a natural disaster or other
crisis.

WUOW 104.7, the community radio station operated under the auspices of the
State University College at Oneonta, has launched an enhanced emergency
alert system.

Mayor John Nader issued a test message live on the airwaves at about 3:45
p.m. Tuesday during a media conference with public safety, hospital and
college officials.

The new telephone interface allows emergency officials and local leaders
to access the airwaves through any telephone, including cell phones.

"One of the biggest problems is getting the word out in any emergency,"
said Gary Wickham, WUOW's program director.

The interface allows officials to enter an access code on their telephone
to record a message that is immediately and automatically broadcast over
the airwaves. A second access code allows officials to speak live on the
air from their telephones.
