INFRASTRUCTURE C.R.I.T. working towards the goal of own With National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week just passed, it gave us a chance to appreciate the unsung heroes who serve our communities answering and dispatching 911 calls. This year marks the 52nd Anniversary of the first 911 call. TRIBAL COUNCIL CHAMBERS ----Although there have been set- backs, C.R.I.T. Tribal Council continues to work toward their goal of having their own 9-1-1- system. Although it’s pretty obvious to understand why 911 Communication Networks are important, it is also important to acknowl- edge exactly what they do, and the significant influence they have on first responders in the field. First of all, it’s an easy number to remember, and only three digits make it fast. The line is reliable when dispatch is transferring the calls to the appropriate agency, and con- sidering recent events, this is a vital component to the sys- tem. Although the system is not on the reservation yet, parents should already be teaching their age ready children how to use the 911 system. First and foremost, it is important to teach children how to say their first and last name, their numerical address and street name, and for children living in rural areas like the valley, they must know landmarks, so that they can describe how to get to their home if they have too. Example: “past Poston, turn at the palm tree, or just past the yellow house with the red car.” Teach them the reasons to call next: fire, medical emer- gency, car accident, stranger danger, or witnessing any violence. And finally, it is essential to teach them what not to use 911 for, like not an actual emergency, for practice, as a joke, or for any non-emergency. Informing them that playing with 911 is keeping emer- gency services from reaching someone with a real emer- gency, and on our homeland, that person could easily be someone we are related to. The History of 911 The history of the emergency number goes back to Great Britain, which adopted a 999 emergency phone number in 1937, and Canada, that followed suit in 1959. It wasn't until 1968 that the 911 single number emergency system began to be adopted in the U.S., and the first 911 call was made in the town of Haleyville, Alabama. According to the National Emergency Number Association, "…an esti- mated 240 million calls are made to 911 in the U.S. each year. In many areas, 80% or more are from wireless devices."
