Fairbanks Adds Smart 911 Service

Dan Bross

A new service allows Fairbanks North Star Borough residents to share information that emergency responders can access.  Fairbanks is the first community in Alaska to subscribe to Smart 9-1-1,  a national service that enables dispatchers to access caller submitted profiles.  KUAC’s Dan Bross reports.

Dan has been in public radio news in Alaska since 1993. He’s worked as a reporter, newscaster and talk show host at stations in McGrath, Valdez and Fairbanks. Dan’s experience includes coverage of a wide range of topics, from wolf control to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and dog mushing.
