                <div class="columns-2">
                    <p>It’s unfortunate, but 911 operators are often using antiquated technologies and their systems
                        often cannot keep up with the demands of today’s world. It’s an unfortunate fact.</p>

                    <p>We’ve all heard news reports about 911 systems being stretched, their operational funding being
                        reduced and overworked staff.</p>

                    <p>And, contrary to common belief, 911 calls don’t go to a national central location. A call is
                        usually routed to an initial, “Public Safety Answering Point,” a patchwork system of local call
                        centers with their own individual challenges.</p>

                    <p>Moreover, because of the current technology being used, 911 dispatchers are often at a
                        disadvantage – sending first responders to “close,” but often unknown whereabouts. And, multiple
                        911 calls can create confused information about response destinations.</p>
