Ever wonder what you would do if the people you needed most on the worst day of your entire life just weren’t there?
Emergency medical services (EMS) are the safety nets we rely on every day for rapid, life-saving help in the absolute gravest of circumstances, but these services rely on antiquated infrastructures that were outdated twenty years ago with vulnerabilities large enough to drive an ambulance through, little municipal governmental support for improved security, and a severe lack of standardized security protocols.
Join quaddi, r3plicant, and Peter- two MDs and a security pro as they review the archaic nature of the 911 dispatch system and its failure to evolve with a cellular world, the problems that continue to plague smaller towns without the resources of large urban centers, how the mischief of swatting and phreaking can quickly transform into the mayhem of cyberwarfare, and the medical devastation that arises in a world without 911. Addressing these problems is a Herculean task but the alternative is a system susceptible to total ownage at the worst possible time.
