Please participate in this important survey now live on the SAFECOM website. The SAFECOM Nationwide Survey (SNS) is a data-gathering effort that will equip government officials and emergency responders with critical information to make decisions about future emergency communications policies, funding, and programs. SAFECOM will leverage the collected data to identify gaps and inform development of the program’s strategic priorities. It will assist the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) to execute the Nationwide Communication Baseline Assessment (NCBA).

SAFECOM had communicated the survey would be open for a 30-day period; however, because several areas of the country are recovering from recent hurricanes the survey will be available into February 2018, to ensure all agencies are able to respond. Information about past SAFECOM surveys can be found on the SAFECOM website. Questions on the SNS can be directed to SNS@hq.dhs.gov
