This bill focuses on improving emergency communication systems in national parks to ensure faster and more effective responses during emergencies. Upgrading to Next Generation 9-1-1 systems will help save lives and enhance safety for visitors.
Making National Parks Safer Act This bill directs the National Park Service (NPS) to develop a plan to install Next Generation 911 (NG911) systems, which are certain interoperable, digital, and secure Internet Protocol-based systems for receiving 9-1-1 calls. Specifically, the NPS must assess the implementation status and estimated costs of such NG911 systems at existing emergency communications centers in NPS units. The NPS must also develop a plan, based on the assessment, to install NG911 systems at centers.
