The purpose of the EAAC is to determine the most effective and efficient technologies and methods by which to enable access to Next Generation 9-1-1 emergency services by individuals with disabilities. In order to fulfill this mission, the Communications Accessibility Act directs that within one year after the EAAC’s members are appointed, the Committee shall conduct a national survey, with the input of groups represented by the Committee’s membership, after which the Committee shall develop and submit to the Commission recommendations to implement such technologies and methods.
