  2. Working Group #10: 911 Prioritization • Description:  • The working group shall explore ways to ensure the 9-1-1 is available when emergencies or disasters cause a surge in mobile network use. • The work will include considerations of how 9-1-1 traffic might be prioritized in such situations. • It also includes related operational issues, including ways for PSAPs to address operational issues.  • The working group may consider ways to reduce traffic load during emergencies. • such as encouragement of use of 911 text as a lower throughput alternative to 911 voice. 

  3.
