On this West Virginia Morning, two federally important facilities located in West Virginia require a strict limit on radio frequency interference. But for decades – increasingly as communication systems have become more advanced – those limits have made it difficult for emergency crews and first responders in Pendleton and Pocahontas counties to do their jobs as safely and effectively as possible. Now the results of a lengthy federal study show exactly how precarious the situation is.
Assistant News Director Maria Young caught up with Pendleton County Emergency Management’s Rick Gillespie to find out what the study shows and what happens next.
Also, pursuing a nursing degree in West Virginia just got a little easier for students from rural counties and areas experiencing a shortage of health professionals.
And, a nonprofit environmental organization has created a resource booklet to help landowners understand a proposed transmission line.
