Impact of the Android 13 update on emergency calls and PSAPs operations
The false call mystery (The Crisis Response Journal, 18:3, September 2023)
The Android 13 update, which started in Q4 2022 with a progressive roll-out, included an emergency SOS functionality to trigger emergency calling after pressing the power button of the handset a certain number of times. That Android 13 update was adapted in different manners by OEMs, and recent data seems to suggest that there was a high increase in automatic false calls generated specifically from Samsung devices.

Este documento presenta una metodología que podría servir como referencia para guiar procesos de elaboración de protocolos para la atención y respuesta a emergencias relacionadas con personas con discapacidad de manera articulada e integral. El proceso se plantea en tres estapas: 1. Etapa de pre elaboración (o preparatora), 2. Etapa de elaboración, y 3. Etapa de pos elaboración.
El presente documento es tan solo un esquema en el que se presentan, en términos generales, los lineamientos para ayudar a los organismos de servicios de emergencia (911) y a los administradores de puntos de respuesta de seguridad pública/centros de comunicaciones de emergencia en la preparación de un plan de respuesta para la continuidad de operaciones ante la pandemia de COVID-19.
Presentación de la herraimenta de alta tecnología, Distancia2, basada en algoritmos de inteligencia artificial para evitar la aglomeración de personas. Permite monitorear el cumplimiento de la distancia reglamentaria de 2 metros en espacios públcios y alertar a la ciudadanía a través de altavoces incorporados en las cámaras de videovigilancia.
Este documento, elaborado por el Sistema de Emergencias 9-1-1 de Costa Rica, ofrece una serie de respuestas preguntas básicas sobre el coronavirus, el COVID-19, cuáles son los síntomas, cuándo es necesario hacer una prueba de detección, cuáles son las conductas, comportamientos y medidas de prevención que se deben tomar, entre otras preguntas claves para la ciudadanía.
A través de este procedimiento, el Servicio Integrado de Seguridad ECU-911 establece los lineamientos a seguir ante la activación de emergencias de alto impacto. Incluye lineamientos operativos, tecnológicos y de comunicación, y administrativos.

NENA Standards: Webinar organized by Michael Baker International and DATAMARK on December 15th, 2020. Instructors Drew Fioranelli, GISP and Mark Whitby, ENP focused on: - Site/Structure Address Points - Civic Location Data Exchange Format (CLDXF) - Required GIS Data Layers - GIS Data Validations - Data Maintenance GIS Basics for the Public Safety Professional In the shift to Next Generation 9-1-1, GIS will play an important role in call routing for public safety, and much of the critical information on GIS is not widely shared with 9-1-1 dispatchers across the country. Join this webinar for an introduction of GIS and a high-level discussion of how it may affect the applications used in the PSAP for dispatch and 9-1-1.
COVID-19: Maintaining Operations Remotely (On-demand) Public safety answering points (PSAPs) and emergency communications centers (ECCs) play a critical role in communities during normal times, but in times of crisis, their role becomes even more important. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues its spread across the country, having a plan in place to support remote work for call takers and dispatchers to ensure ongoing operations is imperative.
Strategic Planning for Public Safety Agencies (On-demand) In today’s evolving emergency communications environment, public safety agencies are often expected to do more with fewer resources. This reality means that strategic planning, and determining how best to leverage the available resources, is more crucial than ever before. This webinar focuses on the benefits of strategic planning for public safety agencies and different approaches to development. Panelists: • Chris Kelly, VIce-President and Director of Operations and Facilities, Mission Critical Partners • Bonnie Maney, Enterprise Client Manager, Mission Critical Partners GIS Data & NG911 Readiness - Exploring Strategies, Dispelling Misconceptions Next Generation 911 (NG911) systems rely on geospatial routing generated by geographic information systems (GIS) to connect emergency callers and 911 centers. But GIS data first needs to be readied so that it aligns with industry standards and can be used in the NG911 environment. This webinar explores strategies for doing so while dispelling common misconceptions that lead many emergency communications center officials to believe that their GIS data is closer to NG911 readiness than it is.
Panelist: • Robert Horne, Senior Technology Specialist, MCP’s Technical Domain Lead and certified emergency number professional (ENP).
Coping with a pandemic: embracing flexibility and mobile technology for the “Next Normal” The COVID-19 pandemic is creating the “Next Normal” with new challenges and opportunities for mobile technologies. Explore how the current disruption impacts current and emerging technologies, as well as new use cases and recommendations for communication success across industries. The 5G Horizon: What Government Needs to Do Today to Be Prepared Tomorrow As agencies seek to improve their services and their efficiency, many are looking at 5G as a game-changing technology. In this webinar, 5G industry experts will discuss the transparent facts of 5G, new use cases, and what agencies can do now to exploit the benefits of 5G. Emergency Comms during the Pandemic This webinar explores issues that have arisen with sharing devices, moving to LTE networks, the coverage in rural areas and indoors, the effect on EMS and dispatch centers as they cancel services, work from home and a need to go beyond more than emergency services. Learn how text-to-911 services, location advancements and new technologies. Taming 911 Turnover: Strategies for Success 911 telecommunicators everywhere are reaching a breaking point. It is no wonder that in the US, the average annual turnover is nearing 30% and 1 in 5 telecommunicators leave their job in the first year. With a shrinking applicant pool, it’s more important than ever to keep telecommunicators happy and engaged. This webinar povides innovative solutions that 911 centers are implementing to tame rising turnover. Speakers: • Joe Scaffidi •Patrick Botz Available on demand. Click here to register. Optimizing PSAP Staff Performance & Reducing Turnover Running an emergency communications center isn’t easy. Challenges can come from every direction: scrutiny over incident handling, funding, and staffing issues. Telecommunicators are the very heart of emergency communications, but with high levels of turnover, the revolving door is working against public safety answering points (PSAPs). In this session, you’ll learn how NICE Inform can give your PSAP the tools you need to improve retention, and coach, develop and train telecommunicators for success. This webinar features: • Joe Scaffidi, RVP of PSAP Performance Solutions, NICE • Karen Carlson, PSAP Product Manager, NICE, and former 911 Operations Manager at Brown County Public Safety Communications and Management Information Coordinator at FoxComm, Wisconsin This webinar is on demand.
