TRANSPORTATION
During a natural disaster or other large-scale emergency, law enforce- ment and the public need to know their 911 system will be there. In the case of a large-scale incident, NG911 helps protect against call overload since the system can re-route calls and other data to alternative PSAPs. In cases where a PSAP is rendered inoperable, calls can also be transferred to an operational agency.

Better Situational Awareness
NG911 will provide a variety of new data — photos, video footage, text messages, GIS/location information, surveillance videos and more — to provide better situa- tional awareness, and to find and arrest a suspect more quickly. The information may also be used later as evidence during prosecution, and can be shared with additional law enforcement ocials, as well as other appropriate agencies.
Improved O cer Safety In a hostage situation, information about the inside of an active crime scene is key for ocer and hostage safety. Access to security cameras and building sensors will provide valuable information for increased ocer safety, such as number of suspects, hostage location and more. Pre-arrival informa- tion is also crucial for ocer safety during active violent incidents.
