Making National Parks Safer Act

HR 7031, the "Making National Parks Safer Act," requires the National Park Service to assess emergency communications centers in national parks regarding their use of modern 9-1-1 systems. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the Secretary of the Interior must evaluate current system implementation, estimate costs for purchasing and maintaining these systems, and identify challenges like jurisdictional or technical issues. The Secretary must then report findings to Congress and develop a plan to install the systems at affected parks, consulting with state/local emergency officials and federal agencies like the FCC. This bill directly affects national park emergency centers and aims to improve emergency response coordination through standardized communication systems.
