Kansas 911 Operators Can Now Operate Anywhere,Anytime

- by Michele Abott, Communications – Training Coordinator, Kansas 911 Coordinating Council When disaster strikes, our first instinct is to dial 911. But some disasters come with network and power outages that can impact 911 call centers and their ability to take calls. Thanks to the Kansas 911 Coordinating Council, a new Emergency Mobile Dispatch and Training Center (EMDTC) is helping to keep 911 operations functional when a traditional call center may be out of commission.

From Eureka to the crowded streets of Wichita, the center can be deployed across the state, ensuring that when Kansans dial 911, a telecommunicator can answer the call and dispatch first responders if needed.
