Gregory L. Rohde,
former Administrator of the National Telecommunications and

The mission of the E9-1-1 Institute is to support the

public education on E9-1-1 and emergency communications issues.
We do this
by serving
as an information clearinghouse on E9-1-1 and emergency
communications issues and creating a forum for policy
discussions related to E9-1-1 and emergency communications
that will benefit public policy development.
Anyone who shares in this mission can join (see
