Funding 911

Funding 911 is complex, political, and rarely the same from one state to the next. This webinar brings together statewide and local leaders from Wyoming to share real-world insights into what has worked, what hasn’t, and why some funding efforts succeed while others stall. Rather than focusing on theory, the discussion centers on practical strategy: planning, messaging, coalition-building, and timing. You will hear candid examples of navigating competing priorities, aligning statewide and local needs, and translating technical requirements into funding requests policymakers can support. The panel will also explore the risks of “asking wrong,” how to preserve political capital, and what a strong funding plan looks like from the start. This session is designed for 9-1-1 leaders and decision-makers looking for actionable takeaways they can apply immediately.

The Overlooked Essentials

In most PSAPs, disaster recovery planning zeroes in on 9-1-1—while administrative lines, public inquiry numbers, and inter-agency communication paths get left on the sidelines. When a hurricane hits, a center evacuates, or a critical circuit fails, those “non-emergency” lines often become the backbone of continuity. This session pulls back the curtain on the overlooked half of resilience: planning for admin call routing and alternate pathways that keep operations intact when the unexpected hits. We’ll break down what happens when admin lines fail, explore fast-deployment routing strategies that actually work under pressure, and use real storm-response case studies to show how preparation shapes outcomes.

FCC Report & Order: What PSAPs Need to Know Right Now 

The FCC’s latest Report & Order is accelerating the retirement of copper and TDM networks, pushing carriers toward mandatory SIP interconnection. This webinar breaks down what’s changing, why it matters, and what PSAPs should be doing now to prepare for carrier cutovers, rising legacy costs, and the shift to fully IP-based 9-1-1.

Attendee Takeaways:

  • Understand the key requirements of the FCC’s new rules.
  • Know how carrier transitions may impact call routing and operations.
  • Learn practical steps to prepare your PSAP for the next 12–18 months.

Modern Call Delivery in Action: From NG Routing to Call Handling 

In a Next Gen 911 world, call delivery isn’t just about getting the call to the right PSAP; it’s about delivering better context, faster workflows, and more connected operations. Join experts from INdigital and Ryzyliant to explore what happens behind the scenes when a 911 call is placed in an NG environment. From advanced routing using GIS to the integrated platforms that receive and act on the call, we’ll walk through the full lifecycle of a 911 interaction and how it’s evolving for the better.

What you’ll walk away with:

  • Understand how NG911 call routing differs from legacy selective routing
  • Explore how GIS impacts both delivery and operational awareness
  • See real-world examples of seamless delivery and PSAP workflow improvements
