The Peninsula Regional Emergency Communications Center (PRECC) has introduced new tools to enhance communication between 9-1-1 callers and first responders. Serving York and James City counties, along with the cities of Poquoson and Williamsburg, the center now allows callers to share real-time video or photos from their phones during emergencies.

This development aims to provide first responders with a clearer understanding of the situation on the ground. By sharing what they are seeing and hearing, callers can assist emergency services in assessing and responding more effectively.

The implementation of these next-generation 9-1-1 tools marks a significant step forward in emergency communication for the region.
