NPSTC commends the FCC for the 6th R&O which will bring vertical  indoor location to 911 calls. This is a step in the right direction, making it easier to find those who are in need of help. We thank the Commission

Excellent news for public safety regarding proposed FCC rules to mandate a 3 meter accuracy standard for 911 caller location. @FCC @AjitPaiFCC
When you call 911 from a cellphone in a multi-story building, it can be hard for first responders to find you without your vertical location. Proud to join @iafc/@iaffnewsdesk to discuss new @FCC rules setting 3-meter vertical location accuracy metric, which will help save lives.
