Ensuring the Reliability and Resiliency of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline; Rules Concerning Disruptions to Communications; Implementation of the National Suicide Hotline Improvement Act of 2018

The Federal Communications Commission proposes new rules to ensure timely information about 988 service outages, aiming to maintain the reliability and resiliency of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, following a nationwide network outage in December 2022. The proposed rules respond to the need for swift communication between the Commission, service providers, and the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
