USTelecom to Demonstrate Public Safety Toolkit to Media
Online Resource Aids Public-Private Emergency Preparedness, Response
Washington, D.C.—With more than 90% of the nation’s communications infrastructure in private hands, public-private collaboration plays a pivotal role in our nation’s emergency preparedness and response. This Wednesday, USTelecom will conduct a webinar briefing for accredited media on a new resource to help government agencies, private partners and other stakeholders navigate the maze of federal, state, regional and private entities involved in emergency preparedness and response efforts.
Please join USTelecom for a demonstration of the Public Safety and National Security Telecommunications Toolkit, which identifies and connects public and private entities that perform essential preparedness and emergency response activities. A resource to the industry, government officials, first responders and the media, this dynamic toolkit serves as a clearinghouse of public information from timely situational updates to evolving public-private initiatives to safeguard our nation and its essential infrastructure.
