The ECHO program gives emergency officials a venue to communicate with people who have limited English skills. Emergency officials can contact ECHO with specific safety information they want relayed to the public. ECHO will translate the information to up to nine languages: Spanish, Somali, Hmong, Lao, Vietnamese, Russian, Khmer, Oromo and Arabic. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.sctimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071224/NEWS01/112240053/1009" target="blank">www.sctimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071224/NEWS01/112240053/1009</a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
