Sharing How a 911 Telecommunicator Made a Difference To Your Community
This Tree of Life has been "planted" here with the support of national 911 organizations to recognize remarkable 911 telecommunicators and the difference they make every day in our communities. Each leaf on the tree represents telecommunicators that have been honored by someone in their community. We invite you to click on the leaf to read the story for the telecommunicator or communications center listed.
Check back often to submit stories recognizing your telecommunicator colleagues and to view featured stories.


Contacting a 911 call center from a large facility like an office building, hotel or university campus has not always been as simple as dialing 911. With this in mind, in August 2019 the FCC adopted rules implementing two federal laws that strengthen emergency calling: Kari’s Law and Section 506 of RAY BAUM’S Act.
