For forty years, 9-1-1 has served as the vital link between the American public and emergency services. Public education and awareness initiatives throughout the years have contributed in large measure to the incredible and ongoing success of the emergency communications system as a whole. It is imperative that 9-1-1 professionals, teachers, government officials, media representatives, and industry leaders are equipped with the tools necessary to continue these efforts in the face of an ever-changing telecommunications landscape, and that citizens of all ages are well versed in the role they play in ensuring effective and efficient emergency response for themselves and their fellow citizens.

Nine different groups, including the United States Congress, have recognized April as National 9-1-1 Education Month, and NENA is encouraging everyone - the 9-1-1 community, the telecommunications industry, educators, public information providers and all groups interested in promoting and enhancing the safety and welfare of the public - to get involved.
