E911 Made Easy: Free Checklist

Note: The FCC's new E911 mandates went into effect January 6, 2022. Make sure your organization is compliant!

The FCC has set minimum rules regarding Enhanced 911 (E911) for all Multi-Line Telephone Systems (MLTS) platforms. Those rules stipulate that every business in the United States is now required to comply with federal E911 regulations. E911 can seem like another daunting technical challenge, but Everbridge RedSky makes E911 compliance easy.

Unsure of what Kari's Law and RAY BAUM'S Acts entail?

911 solutions are such critical components to any emergency response plan that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) developed rules and regulations that were then enacted into federal E911 legislation. It is now mandatory for organizations across the US to comply with both Kari’s Law and the RAY BAUM’s Act, which specify direct dialing, notification, and dispatchable location requirements. However, compliance does not need to be difficult. We are here to provide you with exactly the information you need to know to begin your path to compliance.

Kari's Law

Direct Dialing 9-1-1

Every phone that can dial to the public switch network has to be able to dial 9-1-1. That includes all soft phones. Not sure if this applies to your phones? Short answer: it does. To all of them.

Kariʼs Law requires MLTS platforms that are manufactured, imported, offered for first sale or lease, first sold or leased, or installed after February 16, 2020, to enable users to dial 9-1-1 directly, without having to dial a prefix to reach an outside line, and to provide for notification (e.g., to a front desk or security office) when a 911 call is made.

All 911 calls must provide notification to the front desk, security, and/or administrative personnel. This notification must include information that a 911 call is occurring, the phone number that dialed 9-1-1, and the location of where the call was placed.

RAY BAUM'S ACT

Accurate "Dispatchable" Locations

All 911 calls must have what the FCC is referring to as “dispatchable location”. Sec 506 of Ray Baumʼs Act defines "dispatchable location" as information adequate enough for emergency responders to find a person who has dialed 9-1-1. The “dispatchable location” will vary depending on where an individual may be calling from, however, it generally might include information such as:

Street address - 333 N. Michigan Ave. Floor - 16th flr Room # or Zone - Room 1612/NE Corner
