All applications should clearly state which of the below BIDP Project Objectives the project addresses (see Section I.G.): 1. Improve day-to-day interoperable emergency communications among local, tribal, State, and Federal entities, and international partners along and across international borders; 2. Improve interoperable emergency communications among emergency response providers responding to threats and natural disasters on the border; or 3.
