Data Analysis
When GIS map data is integrated properly into a 9-1-1 system, it can
provide lifesaving information. Ensuring your GIS map data is accurate is
critical for efficient emergency response.
For Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1), Geographic Information System (GIS) map data is essential for call routing, call handling, call delivery, location validation, and emergency response. It will also take over the role which the Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) fulfills in a traditional Enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) system. This increases the need for accurate GIS map data and in turn requires the GIS map data to reflect the information contained in the MSAG.
An analysis is needed to verify whether the GIS map data is in sync with the MSAG and the caller location information from the Automatic Location Identification (ALI) database matches your GIS map data. A good starting point would be to have GeoComm analyze these three elements while you are examining your system options and preparing for the transition to NG9-1-1. This first step will help to lay the foundation for possible data updates to increase the data accuracy and synchronization rates.
GeoComm knows the importance of accurate data. Our goal is to help you improve the accuracy and synchronization of your GIS map data, ALI database, and MSAG. Hiring GeoComm to analyze your GIS map data for NG9-1-1 secures a proven public safety GIS partner for your agency. We will review and analyze each relevant GIS map data layer and the GIS map data in relation to your MSAG and ALI database. A detailed report will be provided that defines data inaccuracies and the degree of synchronization among these components and identifies enhancement suggestions that would increase the synchronization.
Our GIS staff is experienced. Having active participants in NENA workgroups who develop guidelines and standards for GIS map data and having been conducting these analyses for over a decade we will partner with you to ensure you have the tools needed to easily transition your GIS map data to NG9-1-1.
