Subject: FCC's Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau Launches new web page: Broadband and Public Safety and
Homeland Security

 

Today, the FCC's Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau launched a new web page: Broadband and Public Safety and Homeland Security to better
ensure that the public safety community, the general public, government
agencies and communications providers have access to the latest news and
information on the FCC's efforts to implement the National Broadband Plan for
public safety.  The implementation of the plan will include initiatives to
bring interoperable communications to America's first responders through the
creation of a nationwide wireless broadband network and new cyber security reporting
and monitoring programs; as well as Next Generation 9-1-1 services; emergency
alerts and warnings through a variety of outlets (including via television and
radio broadcasts (Emergency Alert System), wireless hand-held devices, such as
cell phones and the Internet) and much more.

 

The web page includes access to the
latest press releases, public notices, field hearings, and presentations. 
We encourage you to visit these pages for updates and background information to
assist with your coverage of the National Broadband Plan and its impact on
public safety across America.
