Motorola Leads Panel With City of DeKalb, IL Fire Department to Discuss
Emergency Response to Northern Illinois Shootings at FRI 2009
Chief Bruce Harrison and Retired Chief Lanny Russell to Present Details of
February 14, 2008 Shooting

DALLAS, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FRI 2009 - (Booth 2925) -- Motorola
Inc. (NYSE: MOT) will be leading a panel with the DeKalb, IL Fire Department
at FRI 2009 on Friday, August 28, 2009, from 3:00 - 4:30 PM in room A128-129.
Fire Chief Bruce Harrison and Retired Chief Lanny Russell will be presenting
their "lessons learned" from the Northern Illinois University (NIU) shootings
that took place on February 14, 2008, to the attendees of the FRI 2009 in
Dallas, Texas.

For the first time, Retired Chief Russell and Chief Harrison will speak with a
national audience regarding the planning, preparation and community
participation that took place during this multicasualty incident. In
particular they will discuss the steps that were taken after the Virginia Tech
murders to prepare for a similar incident, including a "verbal simulation," a
mock mass casualty exercise and testing during an actual situation.

The session will be led by Kelly Kirwan, corporate vice president, Motorola
Enterprise Mobility Solutions. According to Kirwan, "This is a story that
everyone should hear, especially those who think it could never happen in his
or her community. This is a powerful story not only because of the lives that
were saved, but also because fire and law enforcement worked so
collaboratively using National Incident Management Systems to achieve a very
successful outcome."

Earlier this month, the United States Fire Administration released a report on
the fire response to the NIU shootings and explained that the situation was
"handled with the highest levels of skill and expertise". The complete report
can be found at the attached link: USFA: Aug 4, 2009 News Release.
