Emerging Tech Stress

NG9-1-1 and First Net Technologies hold great promise for improving emergency response... 

Yet, Incident-Related Imagery* represents a new stressor at the console for 9-1-1 professionals about which they are very anxious. And our perception of the future can powerfully impact how well we'll adapt to it.

The ability of 911Pros to manage this new demand and retain job satisfaction depends largely on how leaders prepare their personnel.

In The Resilient 9-1-1 Professional, Jim Marshall stated... 
 

The success of NG9-1-1...requires exploring how its roll-out in PSAPs will affect telecommunicator’s experience of job stress. Change is always stressful, and the bigger the change, often the greater the stress response. So the roll-out of NG9-1-1 technologies in each center will require the education, involvement, and buy-in of all personnel to help manage the stress involved.
