911 Addressing
Regional Planning Councils (RPC) and Council of Governments (COG) work with the Commission on State Emergency Communications (CSEC) and local 9-1-1 address coordinators to administer the statewide 9-1-1 program enacted by law in 1987. The Permian Basin Regional Planning Commission Emergency Communications Department works with agencies throughout the 17 county region by providing planning and technical assistance to ensure delivery of 9-1-1 calls to the proper Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and offering the correct location and telephone information. This system helps direct emergency services to the correct place in the event of an emergency.
