An online survey was launched today by the FCC for individuals with disabilities to improve accessability of emergency services. The survey is meant to determine the most effective and efficient strategies and tools to utilize in receiving emergency calls from individuals with disabilities. Results will be used by the Emergency Access Advisory Committee to make recommendations on technologies and methods to implement, for example a Next Generation 9-1-1 system capable of video, text, and voice reception. The survey is available in accessible formats such as Braille, large print, electornic and audio formats. Contact Rosemary Kimball at 202-418-0511 or e-mail fcc504@fcc.gov for information on such formats.
The survey can be found on the FCC's website in English, American Sign Language, or Spanish.
