About this Event

Please join us for a timely conversation on 911 and emergency response systems in New York City and beyond. This event pairs a book talk with a panel of leading voices in emergency communications, community safety, and public policy.

Featuring:

  • Rebecca Neusteter, PhD — Executive Director, University of Chicago Health Lab; author of "911, What's Your Emergency?: The Promise and Peril of Crisis Response"
  • Ayesha Delany-Brumsey, PhD — Commissioner, NYC Office of Community Safety

  • Maryum Long, ENP — Senior Advisor, Public Safety & Emergency Management, NYC Office of Technology & Innovation
  • Erica Bond, JD (Moderator) — Vice President of Justice Initiatives, John Jay College

Together, they'll explore what's working — and what isn't — in 911 operations and emergency response, and what reforms could make these systems more effective for all communities.
