Making an emergency call is as easy as dialing 9-1-1. But, making sure that call is answered, recorded, saved and responded to quickly means there's a lot more going on behind the scenes. John Carter oversees all the technical stuff with 9-1-1 so you don’t have to think about it. He’s the Deputy Director of Public Safety Communications, and he’s this month’s YC Faces!
