Subscribe to The Republic Radio woes stymie Arizona security Units not synchronized Dennis Wagner The Arizona Republic Mar. 30, 2005 12:00 AM More than three years after the 9/11 attack, Arizona's terrorism response system remains stymied by a communications clog that also hampered rescue efforts in the World Trade Center. Put simply, firefighters, police officers and other emergency workers sometimes cannot talk to each other because their radio systems aren't synchronized. That problem emerged Tuesday as the dominant complaint at a statewide Homeland Security Summit that drew more than 200 Arizona civil defense leaders to downtown Phoenix. advertisement OAS_AD('BoxAd') Discussions were so dense with bureaucratic language, generalities and government acronyms that regular citizens might not have recognized the dramatic mission that was at stake. For instance, emergency officials repeatedly described the radio communication mess as a "lack of interoperability" - another way of saying that emergency agencies can't converse over the airwaves because they use different equipment and frequencies. Arizona's geography also hampers reception. After hearing repeated complaints about the problem, Gov. Janet Napolitano declared, "We have just got to get to closure on this interoperability issue. . . . There's probably some 16-year-old out there who has the technical ability to fix this. But I don't."

In what is now the U.S. state of Arizona , Spanish explorers sought the "Seven Cities of Cibola," American explorers sought the best stagecoach and railroad routes, and Mormons sought new locations for settlement in the White Mountains. This lesson will delve into how Arizona topography has influenced exploration.

Travel to the United States The Regions of the United States The States, Districts and Territories of the United States State Flag State Seal Arizona. American FactFinder (U.S. Census) Arizona, The "Grand Canyon State" Abbreviation: AZ The state's name comes from "arizonac", a Papago Indian word meaning "place of the small spring". Arizona was the 48th state to join the U.S. in 1912 - the last of 48 contiguous (connected) states to join the Union. Arizona, once thought to be an almost worthless desert, is now prosperous - the fastest growing state in the country. It is rich in farm and mineral products and manufacturing is growing rapidly. Vast irrigation systems have transformed the desert into rich farmland. Although the desert summers are very hot, the desert winters are warm and pleasant. Dude ranches, historic sites and magnificent scenery draw travelers to Arizona. The outstanding scenic feature is Grand Canyon, one of the seven wonders of the world. Die Bezeichnung Arizona leitet sich von "arizonac" ab, einem Wort aus der Sprache der Papago Indianer, das "Ort der kleinen Quelle" bedeutet. 1912 wurde Arizona der 48. Bundesstaat der USA, der letzte von insgesamt 48 zusammenhängenden Staaten.
