E911

Ensure E911 Compliance

New legislation requires changes to how your communications system handles 911 calls

No more 9

Kari’s Law, which was enacted in February of 2020, requires that all multi-line telephone systems remove the requirement to dial 9 for an outside line when calling 911, making it easier to reach emergency services.

Detailed Location Information

Ray BAUM’s Act, in conjunction with Kari’s Law, obligates multi-location telephone systems to deliver more detailed dispatchable location information to the PSAP when an emergency call is made. Any 911 call now will need to include location information down to the room the call was made from.

On-Site Notification

Both Kari’s Law and Ray BAUM’s Act require that notifications be sent to dedicated, on-site personnel or third-party providers so that aid can be rendered prior to emergency personnel’s arrival on-site.
