  2. Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of South Carolina Emergency Management Community Service Program The Department of South Carolina Veterans of Foreign Wars Emergency Management Program is a partnership between our organization and the State Emergency Management Agency. In providing resources such as volunteers, staging areas (Posts and HQ locations) and Rapid Deployment Communication Systems (RDCS) during times of disasters . When Hurricane Katrina struck the gulf coast, VFW Posts throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama provided shelters, lodging, food, communication and other essential services for the evacuees. In addition, the Department will provide response teams with transportable wireless 3/4G communication systems, which will allow evacuees the capabilities to go “On- line”, to sign up for emergency services from FEMA, SS, VA, SBA and other Local, State and Federal agencies; expediting the help they so badly need.

  5. Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of South Carolina During times of disasters, communication is one of the most critical tools needed in the affected areas. Our Emergency response teams will provide the tools for wireless broadband communications. The equipment is transportable and self contained with various power options. Which means, once the equipment is on site; communication is up and running in a matter of minutes instead of hours or days. A virtual “Hot Spot” (WI-FI) provides a Wireless LAN and broadband cellular provides the Wireless WAN. (2 Ethernet ports are standard). Up to 20 computers can be linked to the equipment with a radius of 1 to 5 miles. Data communication is the standard for managing the resources that are needed in a disaster.
