Matthews said.
"The potential is great for the dis-
patch center to be more helpful than
ever before," he said, "although it may
take a little while to get off the ground."
The chicken-and-egg scenario
requires both communities and sub-
scribers to sign on.
For example, Sherril Cecchini of
Walled Lake is an early subscriber.
However, at this point, unless she or a
member of her family is involved in an
accident in West Bloomfield, it will do
little good.
So she is anxious for Walled Lake to
join up, both for her family and for her
mother, also a Walled Lake resident,
who lives by herself.
"Both my kids — ages 15 and 18 —
have horrible allergies," Cecchini said.
"My husband works in Auburn Hills
and I work in Troy, so we're far. I like
knowing they [emergency workers]

Bloomfield, the first community to

adopt her new online emergency

information system, can access it.

Potentially Free
The online secure Web site is a free
service to communities that adopt it
as part of their emergency protocol.
In fact, as subscribers multiply in a
particular community, part of their
subscription fee will be donated back
to the police and fire departments
in their city or town, said Light, who
graduated from Southfield-Lathrup
High School.
