| The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and SAFECOM are excited to announce the launch of the SAFECOM Nationwide Survey (SNS)! The SNS provides critical data on federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial emergency communications capabilities and gaps that will be used to improve communications operability, interoperability, and resiliency. The SNS yields a comprehensive statistically reliable dataset on emergency communications that helps leaders at all levels of government and the private sector make data-driven funding, policy, and programmatic decisions impacting emergency communications. All emergency management, fire, emergency medical service, law enforcement, and 911 agencies at all levels of government are encouraged to take the survey. The survey takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and is open through July 21, 2023.If you’d like to learn more about the SNS, CISA is hosting an Implementing the National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP) Webinar entitled, Using Data to Drive Decisions: The SAFECOM Nationwide Survey on Wednesday, June 7th at 2:00 PM ET. The webinar will highlight real-world examples of how stakeholders have used SNS data, the importance of SNS data to the update of the NECP, and how our organization can complete the survey.
