Volunteer for the NG9-1-1 Data Flow Working Group
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
NENA seeks volunteers for the NENA NG9-1-1 Data Flow Working Group to update and convert the NG9-1-1 Data Flow Standard into an information document. While the original standard focused on traditional NG9-1-1 data flows, it no longer reflects the operational reality of today’s emergency communications environment.
The current version lacks guidance on inbound text messages, images, and video streams from increasingly common sources such as public safety systems, cloud-like platforms, body-worn cameras, vehicle dash cams, and public-generated multimedia. As technology continues to evolve rapidly, this document will provide much-needed flexibility, clarity, and forward-thinking guidance for agencies integrating new data types into emergency workflows.
Ideally, working group membership will include participants with:
- Experience deploying or designing NG9-1-1 systems
- Operational knowledge of multimedia communications in PSAPs
- Experience with CCTV / Surveillance / Camera technologies like body cams and vehicle cams
- Experience with tools such as video management systems, emergency messaging apps, or CAD integrations
- Familiarity with the current Data Flow Standard
- Understanding of Digital Media Ownership, usage and licensing ( ie. news orgs get a hold of a clip, sharing clips for website boost etc.)
Meetings are to be held every 2 weeks on Fridays from 10:30AM – 11:30AM Eastern.
