Master Glossary
The NENA Master Glossary is a guide for readers of NENA publications and a tool for members of the NENA committees that prepare them. It defines the terms, acronyms and definitions associated with the 9-1-1 industry. Intended users of this document are any person needing NENAs definition/description of a 9-1-1 related term.
Use of the NENA Master Glossary of 9-1-1 Terminology will:
- Provide a consistent definition for all definitions and acronyms identified with NENA Standards documents produced by the NENA Committees
- Reduce the work required to establish definitions for consistently utilized terms and acronyms
Any Master Glossary questions, comments or suggestions
