Improving 911 System for Individuals with Disabilities
This bill aims to enhance the safety of individuals with disabilities by creating a system that automatically transmits crucial information about them to emergency services during a 911 call. This will better prepare first responders, potentially reducing response times and increasing the effectiveness of interventions in emergencies.
Key points
Enabling the registration of profiles for individuals with disabilities in the 911 system, including key information (e.g., wandering risk, nonverbal, combative under stress, physical limitations, access issues).
Ensuring this information is automatically transmitted to 911 dispatchers and first responders for a quicker and more appropriate response.
Mandating a report to determine the best way to implement this system nationwide, including cost and timeline estimates, and identifying potential barriers and solutions.
