The state of Alabama now has all of its PSAPs on the Alabama Next-Generation Emergency Network. In Indiana, all PSAPs have been upgraded to Texty 17.3.

The definition of preparedness means “a state of readiness, especially for war.” In the life of a telecommunicator, preparedness is what makes them tick, helps them get through the day’s events, whatever they might be. Yes, they are trained on how to answer a 911 call with a short phrase, “911, where is your emergency,” but that is just the beginning.
