 Print this Article | Send to Colleague
This April, NENA, national public safety organizations, and the wireless industry are conducting outreach to the community to ensure the public is ready to access help during emergencies during National 9-1-1 Education Month.
The National 9-1-1 Education Coalition, an alliance of organizations committed to collecting and promoting 9-1-1 public education resources, has created a clearinghouse for free 9-1-1 public education materials, available now at know911.org. A variety of resources are available to support both the "911: The Number to Know" campaign and education themes including:
- Call If You Can, Text If You Can’t
- Know Your Location
- Stay Calm and Don’t Hang Up
"You don’t wake up in the morning thinking you are going to call 9-1-1. However, should you have to, it may be the most important call you ever make," said NENA CEO Brian Fontes. "That’s what makes 9-1-1 Education Month so very important. In an emergency, seconds matter; being knowledgeable and prepared can make all the difference."
