The National Association of State 911 Administrators (NASNA) has released a white paper recommending best practices for coordination between 911 and emergency management authorities. “911 people and emergency management people often do not work together as well as they could,” said Harriet Miller-Brown, president of NASNA. “This paper is a tool that local and state 911 managers and authorities can use to identify practical things they can do to ensure that 911 becomes part of what emergency managers do.” The paper recommends collaboration among stakeholders through local emergency planning committees, local emergency operations centers, state emergency response commissions, tribal emergency response commissions, emergency management agencies, state emergency operations centers, and telecommunicator emergency response task forces.
