In 2020, new requirements will go into effect for multi-line telephone systems (MLTS) to direct dial 911, and for MLTS, VoIP and other services to provide “dispatchable location” information. This webinar shares the requirements for Kari’s law and RAY BAUM’s Act and how to prepare before they go into effect.

NG911 is here, and there is a suite of new resources to help your agency, jurisdiction and state make the transition. Learn how to use the NG911 Roadmap, NG911 Readiness Checklist and several resources on 911 data to improve 911 systems.

In this webinar, learn about:

  • Kari’s Law and RAY BAUM’s Act implementation requirements that must be met in February 2020

  • Requirements for providing “dispatchable location” information with 911 calls from MLTS, fixed telephone service, interconnected VoIP services, and telecommunication relay and mobile texting services

  • The NG911 Roadmap and the NG911 Readiness Checklist

  • Recommended Best Practices for Supplemental 911 Location Data and the strategic plan for improved collection and use of 911 data
