Investigating the current 911 national system.

Outline a new system for 911 calls:

Assume that you have access to unlimited funding for a new 911 system. Remember, as you consider the potential for a new system, not everyone has computer access. Almost everyone has access to a telephone. Verizon has a program that includes distribution of used cell phones to victims of family violence. These free phones can call 911 only and some include GPS that allows the phone to be located by 911 operators.
Your essay can be crafted with a technology focus if you wish, but it is not necessary to focus on technology.

Grading will be determined on creativity, feasibility and clarity.

CLEARLY LAY OUT A PLAN AND BE DETAILED AND MAKE THIS VERY THOROUGH AND INTELLIGENT…DO SOME RESEARCH.

Extra thoughts: How can you make the 911 system better? Approach this from a technical standpoint, take into consideration certain types of phones and systems. How can 911 be successful if the people answer the phone are not trained with the specific issues. How do you decide what is a medical emergency if you are not medically trained? What can be done to make it better?
