Ten Klickitat County school districts have received a state grant to install a school emergency response system with a direct link to the Klickitat County Emergency Operations Center facility. The districts receiving the advanced safety system include: Bickleton, Centerville, Glenwood, Goldendale, Klickitat, Lyle, Roosevelt, Trout Lake, White Salmon Valley, and Wishram. The new technology to be installed in coming months will provide a direct and nearly-instant connection to 9-1-1 dispatchers in Goldendale, along with capability for dispatchers and responders to remotely see and hear in real time what is happening at the source of the alarm, facilitating earlier dispatch with a much improved view of what is actually occurring at the school. The grant will cover more than $19,000 per school for the new system.
