About the National 9-1-1 Education Coalition
In October 2010, a volunteer group of public safety, education, and industry stakeholders formed the National 9-1-1 Education Coalition to support the nationwide coordinated promotion of National 9-1-1 Education Month and National Public Safety Telecommunications Week. The Coalition leveraged the resources and expertise of its members to create the 9-1-1: The Number to Know awareness campaign, designed to promote a message of public awareness on the effective use of 9-1-1 resources.
The Coalition also supports access to the “best of the best” 9-1-1 educational and promotional ideas. It fosters the advancement of 9-1-1 technology and services to meet the evolving needs of the public to access emergency help.
