And do everything in the $100,000 worth of equipment per truck. Times that by 10 that we have in place now. I think the fact that we need to find a way to get it replaced. So, that's what drives our budget. You know, into into those numbers. >> Wow. And I'm also Thank you so much. >> This is not going to happen, mention. >> My name is Shimi Weiss, service 26 from Hatzolah. Let me show you the supplies from the number four. This is one of the ninja supplies rooms. Hatzolah has two supplies rooms.

This is the ones with the members holding in the in the cars to have the ambulances over here. >> in the dispatch room. Can I start it and do faster give it on the Do I have any moisture in them in moisture? >> Somebody told me that you invested hundreds and thousands of dollars for a new sophisticated system that Hatzolah just got I think last year. And if you could tell us share us a little bit how this this the dispatching system is working with the new system and what is all the models is a good thing. Before we got into the >> So first of all I didn't invest any money into this. Obviously, it was Hatzolah with the help of the community. Um but Hatzolah about 2 to 3 years ago invested in a new dispatch system, um which really brings us to uh the day that we are today, um ensuring that we have all the necessary tools to to serve the community. And there's a lot of things and a lot of uh technology upgrades that have gone into the system um to ensure we're doing whatever we can to be there and uh respond efficiently. Um just some of the components to this new system involves GPS tracking of our members. So, we're able to see exactly um how close they are to the call. Obviously, we want to ensure that we're sending the closest member to the call, and we do that through the GPS tracking of our our members' radios, as well as tracking of our ambulances. So, we're able to see exactly the closest ambulance uh to the call. And the medic trucks. And the medic trucks, as well. Members' vehicles, and so on. Um but there's a lot of different capabilities now that we did not have, you know, years ago, whether it's being able to track callers. If a caller doesn't know where they are, we can send a message through the system, they click a link, and it'll allow us to track them where they are. You know, someone could be somewhere in a park somewhere, and they don't know, they click a button, and it will show up the you know, the address on on the So, Brian, if you come here, you can see, you know, Hatzolah of Central Jersey is covering close to 300 sq mi. And this is our map of our response area. And we can clearly see all our vehicles, or our medic trucks, ambulances, exactly where they are. >> I see it. One second. Let me see it. Let me see where the other area is. Let me see where this is. >> All the way down in Toms River, Pine Lake Park, Manchester, areas in Jackson, Royal Grove, and areas in the Hyson area of Jackson, and so on. So, another thing that our dispatch system is connected to is to our new radio system, uh which is a um Hatzolah's invested a lot of money into an encrypted radio system, which allows which doesn't allow anybody outside the organization to have access to. And this, you know, we've had many problems where kids had radios that were interfering with emergency calls. And uh being able to connect to a system that's secure um and only for Hatzolah members, obviously, is a is a very important piece. >> And you instantly could be able to find two of the legitimate reaction. >> 210. >> The last house on the block, basement entrance, 210. >> He said 115. >> 210. >> How far away? >> 134, back it up. >> 10. The head executive of Hatzolah >> Shkoyach, Reb Froim. Obviously, you see what's going on here. Over 21,000 calls being answered on a yearly basis. Hatzolah's growing. It's unbelievable the growth, and we need every single person to take part. Everyone, every day, every life. This is what we need from every single person. >> All of that is the campaign. $1 a day? >> $1 a day. >> That's it. >> $1 a day, and >> Thank you.
