Safer Parks Act: Upgrading National Park 9-1-1 Emergency Systems
This Act aims to enhance safety in National Parks by upgrading existing Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) to the Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) standard. This means that in case of an emergency or threat within a park, help can be summoned faster and more effectively, potentially using modern technologies like data and location transmission. Within one year of enactment, the Secretary of the Interior must assess the current systems and prepare a plan for their replacement, directly increasing the safety of visitors and staff.

Assessment and Plan: An assessment of costs and the status of current systems will be conducted within one year, followed by the development of an installation and maintenance plan.
