The Interior Department would review 911 call centers in national parks. It would then report the gaps, costs, and barriers, and make a plan to upgrade parks that still need Next Generation 911.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Making National Parks Safer Act is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 469.
Latest action on S. 290: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 469.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects emergency call centers that serve national parks and the National Park Service staff who manage them. It also affects park visitors and employees who may need emergency help in remote areas. State and local emergency officials could also be involved because park 911 systems often need to work with nearby systems.
Why this matters: Emergencies in national parks can be harder to handle because many parks are large, remote, or crossed by different local jurisdictions. Modern 911 systems could help responders get better caller location and call information. This bill does not directly fund or install those systems. It first requires the government to find the gaps, estimate the costs, and plan how upgrades should happen.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send.
