9-1-1 Emergency System
The 9-1-1 emergency call system is our citizen's crucial link to emergency service - whether it’s an everyday crisis, natural disaster or terrorist attack. Improving our nation's 9-1-1 system must become a national priority. In 2003, the Congressional E9-1-1 Caucus was formed to elevate the visibility of E9-1-1 at the Federal level, a welcome development to the thousands of public safety officials and first responders throughout the country. Now known as the Congressional NextGen 9-1-1 Caucus, the Caucus is the only bi-partisan, bi-cameral organization dedicated exclusively to emergency communications issues and the education of lawmakers, constituents, and communities about the importance of citizen activated emergency response systems.
