A decade after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, New York City emergency agencies are better trained and better equipped to communicate in a disaster, but first responders in cities around the country say the progress is not good enough. A national network is needed where police and fire departments can talk to each other and share video and other critical data. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson, File)
