📢 NENA: The 9-1-1 Association and APCO International have officially called on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump to promise to support full federal funding for Next Generation 9-1-1 implementation in every community. NG9-1-1 will begin saving lives the moment it is implemented. Broadly supported, bipartisan legislation (H.R. 3565) is available today to provide that funding without adding to the deficit. We need a president who will ensure America's *first* first responders have the tools they need to save lives!

"A picture is worth a thousand words." NENA CEO Brian Fontes recently spoke on The Weather Channel about the technology that lets callers share live video on 9-1-1 calls, and how it could save time when every second counts. "The ability to see a video, to get a situation awareness to that 9-1-1 professional and ultimately to the field responders, will provide a more efficient, more effective response," said Fontes.

Does your community have an "alternative response team"? A growing number of emergency centers are sending trained health care professionals in place of law enforcement to assist with lower-risk situations (think wellness checks, confused individuals, and mental health-related calls). Robert Blaine, senior executive and director of the Center for Leadership, Education, Advancement and Development at the National League of Cities says this shift in mindset is an all-around good thing. Alternative response teams "can divert what could be a criminal justice-type response into more of a health care, trauma-informed [one that directs] more people into the appropriate care they need," and gives cities "a diverse set of tools" in their emergency response toolkit.
