Intro: State officials have said emergency communications in Missouri are out of date, yet it may be years before changes are made. Courtney Cox has more from Jefferson City.

Until the new system is established, direct statewide communication is impossible.
From the state capitol, I'm Courtney Cox.
Actuality: LUND5.WAV
Run Time: 00:20
Description: "It could take anywhere from three to six or seven years to build a statewide system. At that time we hope that local government would choose to join, but in fact there are potential areas of the state who might say this doesn't fit our requirement or we're not interested, we want to do our own local design."
