Public Notice
TSAG forms "NG9-1-1 What's Next" Working
Group
Group to Address National Priorities for Emergency
Response Incident Information
The NG9?1?1 What's Next Forum
will be convened on September 23-24, 2010 to discuss the future on
Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) technology. The forum is open to
observers as space permits.
The Forum will consist of three half-day sessions,
including a general project orientation session, and breakout
sessions for each of the four emergency responder groups. At the
conclusion of the Forum, recommendations for the prioritization of
9-1-1 data that are anticipated to be available through public
safety answering points (PSAPs) will be compiled and consolidated
into a Final Report of recommendations to the U.S. DOT. The process
will help form the basis for national priorities among emergency
responder information needs associated with NG 9-1-1
systems.
The U.S. DOT NG9-1-1 initiative demonstrates the
feasibility of transmitting data sets, including photos, text,
video and other digital information to 9-1-1 PSAPs. While this
digitized enhancement is expected to benefit emergency 9-1-1
systems and responders, it also generates exponential increases in
the volume of information to be processed, which could overload
communications networks and tax the capacities of PSAPs and
personnel. Prioritizing and screening these data for transmission
of 'actionable information' to field level emergency responders is
the fundamental objective of this project.
