You dont have to be a genius to figure this one out

First the Department of Homeland Security should set some some network standards so that counties can be added to a national network as soon as they upgrade their 911 to IP. Some deadlines for upgrading and funds to do it wouldnt hurt either.

Secondly the DHS should set up several regional control centers that reroute trafic between and coordinate the localy run 911 centers during massive emergencies.
