9-8-8 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline <https://www.mmsend50.com/link.cfm?r=b_5cxdcAxAVR3h0NaLyCOA~~&pe=NqBa4S6VWYz2qoenQoh8Fv5UOTjjxZgiA9IzcMhA0KqSjj_a9aQ3EY9tVOPHmiZk7ff88aiRyij8Sjl1BRm31g~~&t=

NACo welcomes a significant announcement: the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will establish a rule <https://www.mmsend50.com/link.cfm?r=b_5cxdcAxAVR3h0NaLyCOA~~&pe=7R3uGpeFfL91n4218YNOtmo9fq
YXjaw99m3QrHZ7XG9U-zL6FTUyv0xqU_wq5slgeCjfULcF4CPiyU6woXwxYQ~~&t=64mvtSYXcrKXhVvcUC-bNw~~> to shift towards georouting calls to the 9-8-8 National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
* What is georouting? Today, calls to 9-8-8 are routed based on a phone's area code. Georouting, the method used for calls to 9-1-1, routes calls based on a caller's physical location
at the time of the call, saving precious minutes in connecting callers to local support.
* Next steps: We urge the FCC to move this process forward as swiftly as possible. Check out this overview <https://www.mmsend50.com/link.cfm?r=b_5cxdcAxAVR3h0NaLyCOA~~&pe=HOuKinQViVYp6RKAI3plFUHmEg9
