FCC Creates Homeland Security Bureau
In an effort to be more responsive during times of national crisis or
natural disaster, the FCC has created a Public Safety and Homeland
Security Bureau.
FCC Chairman Kevin J. Martin commented on the new bureau, "The events
on September 11th, 2001 and last year's Hurricane season underscored
our dependence on our national telecommunications infrastructure.
During times of emergency, it is critical that the needs of the
public safety community are met.
"This Bureau will provide a single central hub for the development of
policies and rules to promote reliable communications for public
safety, national security, and disaster management. The Bureau will
be tasked to expend all of its talent and resources to make sure that
the Commission does its part to support reliable emergency
communications and address the needs of first responders, law
enforcement, and emergency response personnel.
"The new Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau will enhance the
Commission's ability to continue ensuring public safety priorities
are met and that consumers have access to reliable communications
during emergencies and crises."
