| TELECOMMUNICATOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE TASKFORCE |

We are looking for Telecommunicators to be on TERT! If you are interested, please contact Kimberly Burdick at kburdick@mtapco.org In the aftermaths of Katrina and Rita and natual disasters that devastated many areas of our country, public safety communications centers have faced tremendous challenges. One of the greatest challenges was maintaining the staffing levels of the communications centers. To address this problem and expand on some individual state initiatives in place in a number of states, NENA and APCO International are joining hands to develop more widely the Telcommunicator Emergency Response Taskforce (TERT) |
