911 text messaging service coming in 2014

The top four wireless carriers in the U.S. have agreed to speed up their efforts to support text-to-911 capabilities, making it available by May 15, 2014. Once the carriers are set up, local emergency response centers will still need the proper equipment, software and training to receive and respond to the texts.
