This Federal ""home"" for 911 plays a critical role by coordinating public and private sector efforts that support 911 services; collecting and creating resources for local and state 911 Authorities who operate the 911 system; and administering a grant program specifically for the benefit of 911 Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs).� �� NHTSA�s Office of Emergency Medical Services� (OEMS) mission is to reduce death and disability by providing leadership and coordination to the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) community in assessing, planning, developing, and promoting comprehensive, evidence-based emergency medical services and 911 systems.� The National 911 Program (www.911.gov) is housed within OEMS.� A key component of this program is the implementation and operation of a comprehensive 911 system.
