VERDICT

Should I use 911?

Not disclosed - 911.gov

Skip. 911.gov is a free U.S. government information site about 911 funding and services, not a product anyone buys. Agencies shopping for 911 software should evaluate NG911 vendors instead — and note Intrado's 911 gateway has a known path-traversal CVE.

Confidence

Low. Based on 7 relevant public sources; most supplied evidence was unrelated (Porsche 911 car reviews and '911' TV-show threads), so confidence is low.
