NENA is proud to publish 9-1-1 & COVID-19: A Report on PSAPs During the Pandemic. This report, based on 500 survey responses from 9-1-1 professionals across 46 U.S. states and territories, provides the 9-1-1 community with an initial view into how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting PSAP operations, as well as what actions PSAPs and local authorities are taking to protect telecommunicators.
Survey access was provided to PSAP contacts using the NENA Enhanced PSAP Registry and Census (EPRC), a free service for public safety personnel that provides contact information for PSAPs during emergencies. Based on direct reports from the field, the report reflects the respondents' sentiments and illuminates some trends with respect to how COVID-19 is changing PSAP operations.
