Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the Massachusetts Emergency Information Program. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the Massachusetts Emergency Information Program (EIP), a supplemental 911 and emergency management database that allows individuals to provide information to be used in emergency scenarios and planning. The EIP would collect data such as photographs, medical conditions, and emergency contacts, and automatically display this information to 911 call takers when a call is placed from a registered phone number. The bill also requires public safety agencies to make reasonable efforts to publicize the EIP and ensures the confidentiality of the information gathered. Additionally, the EIP would enable non-verbal communication between 911 callers and telecommunicators, and gather data about buildings and facilities to assist first responders.
