Laurie Flaherty
Coordinator, National 911 Program
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)


Laurie Flaherty worked as an emergency, trauma and flight nurse before joining the NHTSA Office of EMS as an EMS specialist. Since the creation of the National 911 Program in 2005, Laurie has served as its coordinator, helping strengthen 911 emergency communications systems across the country. Much of her current work involves coordinating with other federal agencies as well as national, state and local organizations to implement Next Generation 911, a digital infrastructure that will increase the resilience of the nation’s 911 system, and enable sharing of emergency data from 911 callers with public safety officials.
