Municipal safety centers typically combine police, fire, 9-1 -1 and other emergency services - they must remain operational at all times. If communications systems fail, dispatchers are helpless, emergency workers can't find each other and the public could be at risk. It's critical that communications services remain up and running as the 9-1-1 dispatch center often deal with life-and-death situations, and must dispatch personnel to the injured as fast as possible. All communications systems need antenna towers, which naturally invite lightning strikes that can cause damage to a center's sensitive equipment. The solution: equip the towers with robust, correctly designed and properly installed lightning protection and grounding systems to direct lightning energy away from sensitive equipment and harmlessly into the earth before it damages equipment.
