Bethlehem’s Emergency Operations Center, Bethlehem Mayor Bob Donchez and Northampton County Executive John Brown formally announced that the city and county have worked collaboratively to provide Text- to- 911 services enhancing emergency operations for the region.
“Joining resources and enhancing our emergency response efforts is critical to our communities,” said Brown. “Working together, this partnership will provide increased service, expand interoperability and save on costs.”
“Public safety is one of my primary responsibilities as Mayor, “said Mayor Donchez. “Additionally, I feel that the City must continue to build relationships with community partners to further address quality of life issues within the city and region.
The City of Bethlehem and Northampton County have been proactive and forward thinking in meeting the need for the growing demographic that is reliant upon text messaging. Text-to-9-1-1 refers to the City’s ability to further serve our residents, allowing individuals in need to send text messages to local 9-1-1 call centers during an emergency. This service has many significant benefits to residents, especially in cases when the caller cannot communicate verbally
It is the intent of both the city and the county to promote and foster this new service within the region to better serve our communities.The City of Bethlehem has been in the process of developing a wayfinding and signage program over the last six months supported by input from stakeholders drawn from residents, community leaders, merchants and other stakeholders. The first stakeholder meeting established the mission, scope, goals and themes of the program. The design team based their concepts on ideas generated at the meeting.
This meeting will focus on gathering input from attendees on concepts developed by the design team. Ideas taken from this meeting will aid in the design development process, resulting in a more effective wayfinding program.
