Territory entitled to receive $250K federal grant to improve 911 services
American Samoa is one of four US territories entitled to receive $250,000 each under a federal grant program aimed at improving “911” services.
The funding is part of a $41.3 million-dollar-grant program made available under the federal ENHANCE 911 Act.
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) propose that grant funds and matching funds be used either for the acquisition and deployment of hardware and software that enables compliance with Phase II E-911 services, or that enables migration to an IP-enabled emergency network, or for training in the use of such hardware or software.
US states and territories have until December 2, 2008 to submit grant applications.
