    Summary

    Next Generation 911 (NG911) is an initiative to modernize today's 911 services so that citizens, first responders, and 911 call-takers can use IP-based, broadband-enabled technologies to coordinate emergency responses. Using multiple formats, such as voice, text messages, photos, and video, NG911 enables 911 calls to contain real-time caller location and emergency information, improve coordination among the nation's Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs), dynamically re-route calls based on location and PSAP congestion, and connect first responders to key health and government services in the event of an emergency


    Grant funds awarded may be used only for:

    • The implementation and operation of 911 services, E–911 services, migration to an IP-enabled emergency network, and adoption and operation of Next Generation 911 services and applications;
    • The implementation of IP-enabled emergency services and applications enabled by Next Generation 911 services, including the establishment of IP backbone networks and the application layer software infrastructure needed to interconnect the multitude of emergency response organizations; and
    • 911-related training of public safety personnel, including call-takers, first responders, and other individuals and organizations who are part of the emergency response chain in 911 services.

    Additional Information

    Matching funds may be in the form of either cash or in-kind contributions. In-kind contributions, which include third party in-kind contributions, are non-cash donations of property, goods or services, which benefit a Federally assisted project, and which may count toward satisfying the non-Federal matching requirement of a project's total budgeted costs when such contributions meet certain criteria. In-kind contributions must be allowable project expenses.
