Smart buildings, smart grids, smart cities—buoyed by billions of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, all types of infrastructure are getting “smarter.” But when something goes wrong that results in an emergency, notification first responders of the problem typically requires someone to recognize the issue, call 911 and give a verbal description of the problem, and have that message dispatched to the appropriate agency. Can this workflow be streamlined to save valuable seconds and minutes? Should IoT sensor data be delivered directly to a 911 center, instead of waiting for someone to call that there is a problem? If so, what can be done to limit false alarms? Can cybersecurity concerns be mitigated? Join us to hear our expert panelists’ opinions about these questions and the efforts being taken to address relevant issues.
