GeoComm’s David Sanchez presents at California NENA conference
St. Cloud, MN: GeoComm’s David Sanchez was selected to present at two
different sessions during next week’s California NENA conference. The
California Chapter of National Emergency Number Association is hosting the
2010 Annual conference and tradeshow March 1-3 in San Diego, California.
This conference is an educational and networking event for California public
safety communication professionals to explore the most critical issues
affecting the industry.
David’s first presentation will focus on Why GIS Data is Important in NG9-1-1.
This session will provide a description of the analog 9-1-1 system and
compare it to new NG9-1-1 systems. It will then highlight the important GIS
issues to consider when planning NG9-1-1. It will also explain the expanded
role GIS data has in NG9-1-1 based on the spatial and geographical routing
present in Next Generation 9-1-1.
Next, David will present on how Web GIS Provides Situational Awareness for
Emergency Management. This presentation will overview how web based GIS
mapping enables public safety officials to gather and share information that
will help them manage and respond to emergency events. It will help
attendees overcome the communication hurdle that is created by storing
information in many different locations by explaining how a common operation
picture offered by a web based GIS system is designed to manage events
from a spatial perspective.
The 2010 California NENA conference is being held at the Manchester Grand
Hyatt in San Diego, California. Registration for the conference is still available.
