Current Projects

The five goals of the 911 DataPath Strategic Plan describe a future where data can be exchanged at all levels of the nation’s 911 systems.

This project assessed the state of disparate computer-aided dispatch systems across the U.S. to develop solutions and strategies for creating interoperability between 911 centers nationwide.

The National 911 Program continues to work closely with other federal agencies and national associations to provide current, accurate information about coronavirus and other emerging diseases to 911 personnel.

Explore the numerous federal grants and financial assistance opportunities that support improving emergency communications across the country.

This project evaluated current geographic information systems (GIS) data-sharing capabilities in 911 centers to offer strategies for meeting common challenges.

Next Generation 911 (NG911) provides the ability to share voice and data-rich information that will improve first responders' ability to save lives, ensure responder safety and protect property.

Interoperability is not a new challenge in emergency communications, but it’s one the 911 community continues to address. Find out more about this work at the National, State and local level.

The five primary goals of the Next Generation 911 Roadmap identify what must be done at the national level to achieve a fully integrated NG911 “system of systems.”

The National 911 Program collaborates with public and private representatives to articulate and advance the connection between Next Generation 911 and Emergency Responder Broadband Networks.

The duties of public safety telecommunicators have changed since the first 911 call in 1968, and the role will continue to evolve as Next Generation 911 is fully integrated across the nation.
