The United States has yet to find a solution that assures seamless
communications among first responders and emergency personnel at
the scene of a major disaster. Since September 11, 2001, when
communications failures contributed to the tragedies of the day,
Congress has passed several laws intended to create a nationwide
emergency communications capability. The 111th Congress considered
pivotal issues, such as radio frequency spectrum license allocation
and funding programs for a Public Safety Broadband Network (PSBN),
without finding a solution that satisfied the expectations of both
public safety and commercial network operators. This book explores
the areas where changes in existing policies and practices may
facilitate achievement of the important goals for emergency
communications that Congress and others have identified. Why these
goals have become important, and recent planning efforts to achieve
these goals is discussed.
