The
NG9-1-1 Institute Honors Our Heroes & Leaders
on the 10th Anniversary of September 11th
We remember the many dedicated men and women who
rushed
to the Twin Towers in New York, the Pentagon and in
Pennsylvania to
risk their own lives to attend to the victims of
this horrible attack. Further,
let us not forget the first responders who took the
emergency calls, dispatched the fire fighter,
police, and paramedics and other emergency services
to the scenes.
September 11th should not simply become a day of
remembrance of a tragedy. It should also become a
day to remind us how important the men and women who
serve our communities and country as
emergency call
takers and first responders.
The NG 9-1-1 Institute expresses our
gratitude and appreciation for the entire emergency
response professional community. We honor and thank
you, not just on the anniversary, but every day.

APRIL IS
NATIONAL EDUCATION MONTH
Last night, April 14, 2010, the Senate passed
S. Res. 482

April 2010
as
"National 9-1-1 Education Month."
The
Measure was co-sponsored by the E9-1-1 Caucus Co-Chairs Senator Amy

_______________
Effective 9-1-1 education is critical AT
ALL AGES. We encourage you to join us in our
efforts to promote education throughout the month of April.
Arrange a school visit to your local PSAP, ask representatives from
your local PSAP to visit your school, hold a street fair or block
party, offer
to go to your child's or grandchild’s class and read about 9-1-1.
WE ALL NEED TO GET
INVOLVED!
We can never do enough to educate the public about 9-1-1. The
commitment of this impressive coalition of public safety and
industry in dedicating time and effort to advance 9-1-1 education
will help save lives and will produce a significant return on
whatever effort is made.
In addition to school-based activities, other ideas include
conferences and training events for parents, teachers, care-givers
that bring together the public safety community and industry leaders
in a common effort to promote 9-1-1 education.
The national
kick-off event in Washington, DC will occur on April 9, 2010. The
9-1-1
Block Party will be sponsored by the Office of Unified
Communications at the Ferebee-Hope Community School in the
District of Columbia Public Schools
