NGA 911, with a mission to provide peace of mind and equal access to emergency response for everyone in communities through cutting-edge, cloud-based telecommunications, has already begun to modernize LGUs, starting with Morong, Rizal. Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro City and Alaminos, Pangasinan are next in line for activation, with other LGUs in the pipeline.

Don Ferguson is a leading innovator in the adoption of Next Generation 911 in the United States who has over 30 years of technology experience in the deployment of large scale, mission-critical systems and is the holder of several emergency call routing and services patents. He served in the technology and innovation team of President Barack Obama tasked to modernize public safety communications. NGA 911’s cutting edge technology would bring the Philippines up to first world standards of emergency response when adopted by LGUs. Its use of the highest level of redundancy and resiliency ensures high-performance transmission of voice, text and video during emergencies while promising unbreakable connections, empowering communities to save lives and property on everyday emergencies, as well as during large scale disasters.
