H.R. No. 141

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, 9-1-1 is nationally recognized as the number to call
	during an emergency, and our statewide 9-1-1 service relies on the
	efforts of countless dedicated and hardworking operators and other
	professionals; and
	WHEREAS, The State of Texas is home to more than 500 public
	safety call centers, where trained operators respond to urgent
	calls for police, fire, and emergency medical services and dispatch
	appropriate assistance as quickly as possible; and
	WHEREAS, Public safety telecommunicators are the vital link
	between citizens in need and the agencies that can render aid; these
	invaluable professionals are called on to accurately and
	efficiently answer emergency requests that may come at any hour of
	the day or night, and they frequently must have the skill and
	composure to perform their duties under considerable pressure; and
	WHEREAS, New and emerging technology is necessary to ensure
	that our state's 9-1-1 service is able to consistently meet the
	expectations of our citizens; the Texas chapter of the National
	Emergency Number Association, which represents the
	telecommunicators, directors, planning professionals, and industry
	service providers that are part of this system, is a leader in
	promoting research, training, and education as well as fostering
	the development and accessibility of 9-1-1 services; and
	WHEREAS, Texans are deeply indebted to the individuals who
	serve as the first point of access in the event of an emergency, and
	9-1-1 Day provides a fitting opportunity to raise awareness of our
	9-1-1 service and the importance of modernizing this system to keep
	pace with the needs of residents; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 4, 2019, as 9-1-1 Day at the
	State Capitol and commend members of the Texas chapter of the
	National Emergency Number Association and other 9-1-1
	telecommunicators for their invaluable contributions.
