Abstract

The 1970-1971 statewide emergency communications test known as the Ohio REACT Emergency Network is described. The program was designed to test the effectiveness of volunteer citizens monitoring emergency communications and providing assistance to motorists. Three thoughtful discussions point out advantages and limitations of the volunteer system and suggest that major decisions in emergency communications are not technological in nature.
