# 911 - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `911.gov` ## Description 911 is the Federal home for emergency services in the United States. They play a critical role in coordinating federal efforts to support and promote optimal 911 services nationwide. The 911 system was created to provide a universal and easy-to-remember number for people to reach police, fire, or emergency medical assistance from any phone in any location. As communication methods continue to evolve, 911 adapts to new technologies such as wireless phones, text and video messages, social media, and IP-enabled devices. The National 911 Program works with states, technology providers, public safety officials, and 911 professionals to ensure a smooth transition to an updated 911 system. Their mission is to facilitate the dissemination of grant funding and provide resources and tools to help 911 systems deliver optimal services. The National 911 Program is housed within the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at the U.S. Department of Transportation, with specific responsibilities shared with the National Telecommunication and Information Administration. They collaborate with federal, state, tribal agencies, national 911 associations, and other public and private groups to create a seamless emergency communication system across the country. ## Industries - ⚖️ Law and Government - ⚖️ Government _(under Law and Government)_ - ⚖️ Law Enforcement and Protective Services _(under Law and Government)_ ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idX2lGfmZU/w/180/h/180/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1785983663436) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | St Tropaz | #2965a2 | accent | | Regal Blue | #00426b | dark | | Orange | #ff6921 | light | ## Fonts - Lato — asset _(google)_ - system-ui — asset _(system)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
