FirstNet Educational Forums for First Responders — and Emergency Managers

FirstNet is hosting educational forums around the nation.

Check out this link for dates and locations for the FirstNet Educational Forums for First Responders.

The one here in Washington state is tomorrow, Feb. 7, but there is a complete list at the link above. These are free to first responders, and "in my opinion," emergency managers should also be in attendance so you can make wise choices on your wireless service provider going forward.

I noted that Verizon was pushing their first responder message during several Super Bowl ads.
