The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) today announced an important step forward in making the state better prepared to assist those in need during emergencies and natural disasters.
Cal OES has selected four contractors (Atos, CenturyLink, NGA 911, and Synergem Technologies) to partner with Cal OES in upgrading California’s outdated 9-1-1 system to a Next Generation 9-1-1 platform. The effort to modernize the 9-1-1 system across the state will introduce proven state-of-the-art technology to ensure California is better prepared to assist those in need during emergencies and natural disasters.
