Virginia NENA is forming an ENP study group for those who are interested in achieving ENP certification! Being part of a study group is a great way to learn and support others trying to become ENP-certified.
The group will meet via weekly conference call on Mondays at 2PM Eastern. The first conference call will be on Monday, August 7, and the group will meet for 8-9 weeks.
Prior to expressing an interest in participating in the study group, please do the following:
Sally’s day-to-day work is all about updating and maintaining the quality of her agency’s GIS data. Every day she works towards the goal of continually achieving public safety grade GIS data for use in her 9-1-1 system. To help with this task, Sally follows a GIS continuous maintenance process which aids in ensuring her GIS data is highly accurate and as real time as possible.
Check out this video to learn more about Sally’s daily process and how it ensures constant GIS support for mission critical 9-1-1 environments and provides accurate location information.
Since its inception, 9-1-1 has run a never-ending race to keep pace with technological advances, meet the public’s expectations, and ensure the safety of field responders. Are you having trouble getting your core messages out? Do those in your community have misconceptions about how 9-1-1 works and what it can (and can’t) do? Join us for this hour-long webinar where you’ll learn how to create a public education program that turns your citizens into 9-1-1 champions! We’ll discuss:

Comments on any of the below documents are due by 12AM Eastern on August 4, 2017. Contact the NENA Committee Resource Manager with any questions.
The NENA Virtual PSAP Management Information Document is a guide for PSAP authority staff and policy makers to evaluate and consider the opportunities and challenges presented with the Next Generation 9‑1‑1 systems as they relate to personnel and PSAP management, such as the considerations that might be necessary for employing virtual workers for the traditional PSAP environment. See the full document.

The NENA PSAP Site Characteristics Information Document is a guide for PSAP managers and for the designers, manufacturers, and installers of PSAP CPE (Customer Premises Equipment). Most of the material in this document applies to equipment hosted in both E9‑1‑1 and NG9‑1‑1 PSAPs. It identifies the required and desirable characteristics of the PSAP facilities that house the supporting CPE. See the full document.

**2nd review due to substantive changes** The NENA Call Blocking Information Document provides guidance to PSAP administrators regarding what conditions should be required for a PSAP to identify a calling number as a problem source and develop a draft policy for having that source blocked. This document also provides guidance on how to determine if the problem is resolved and the criteria to un-block the number. This document focuses on threats from individual sources; it does not address Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks where large numbers of individual sources are coordinated to simultaneously launch attacks. See the full document.

Contact the NENA Committee Resource Manager for information on how to get involved!
A new working group focused on the Internet of Things (IoT) and external applications (apps) is seeking volunteers to assist in creating a document describing the impact of IoT devices and emergency applications on NG9-1-1. This document will provide guidance to 9-1-1 professionals, application/device vendors, and data management/monitoring entities for NENA-endorsed methodology for NG9-1-1 interaction by IoT devices and emergency calling applications.
The working group may also determine mechanisms by which attachments (such as images or videos) are either conveyed with or made available within a 9-1-1 call and determine how data provided by applications or devices is made available to and accessed by call takers and responders. Additionally, the group may determine mechanisms (signaling etc.) by which applications and devices place automatic or manual 9-1-1 calls, including situations where the person initiating the call is remote, or gets bridged into a 9-1-1 call.
