The National 911 Program

Federal Highway Administration

A webinar where the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will present on the development of the National 911 Program.

Emergency systems are moving towards developing NG911 which involves using voice over IP systems that will use GIS maps to route calls to the correct 911 center. Therefore, GIS mapping is a critical component of NG911, and it is important to have highly accurate GIS data that can be freely shared locally, regionally and nationally. The National 911 Program’s goal is to develop a 911 GIS data sharing strategic plan. Since regulations regarding #911 and emergency management are only at the state and local level, and not the national level, the National E911 Program is not creating regulations. Instead, the Program has three tasks to help attain the goal of developing the strategic plan:•	Convene Stakeholders to learn about their issues, and to make decisions and take action.•	Create and share resource to help 911 programs and educate regarding 911 systems.•	Administer grants for updating state/local 911 systems (with NTIA).The results of the National 911 Program will be to have a national GIS data sharing strategic plan with tools and resource to help state and local entities achieve their NG911 goals. This webinar will discuss the development and current status of the National 911 Program. NHTSA will also discuss some the challenges faced and lessons learned.Featured speakers:•	Kate Elkin, National 911 Program Office, NHTSA
