FirstNet for the Broader Public Safety Community
The FirstNet network was designed for first responders, and they always get the highest level of priority as primary users.
But a large community of people provide essential support during emergencies, including public works, utilities, schools, hospitals and more. These groups are called extended primary users on FirstNet. When an incident occurs, these essential workers coordinate with public safety officials to restore utility lines, clear roads, clean up debris, or activate during medical emergencies.
Because communication is so critical to disaster response and recovery, FirstNet is available to this extended community of responders when needed.
