"N.H. begins planning 911 system to handle e-mail, photos, texts" by Norma Love, Associated Press | July 6, 2010
CONCORD, N.H. — The state’s emergency services director, Bruce Cheney, envisions the day when New Hampshire’s 911 service will catch up with today’s cellular technology and accept text messages, photos, video, and e-mails about crimes and other emergencies.
Cheney has asked the Legislature for permission to use nearly $4 million collected from telephone users for emergency services to prepare New Hampshire for the next generation of 911.
He also has a $1 million federal grant to spend on the project....
The failure of 911 systems to keep pace with technology continues to hamper emergency responders around the country....
But it doesn't stop a government from telling them the toxic spew-stew is safe to work.
