Emergency Communications Vulnerabilities Remain and Limited Collaboration and Monitoring Hamper Federal Efforts

This report identifies: (1) vulnerabilities, if any, to emergency communications systems; (2) federal assistance available or planned to first responders for addressing vulnerabilities or enhancing emergency communications; and (3) challenges, if any, with federal emergency communications efforts. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
