2. Overview Background of GIS in 9-1-1 Next Generation 9-1-1 and GIS – It’s here! GIS Maintenance – It’s up to you! GIS Technical Committee (GISTC) & GIS Hub 9-1-1 Association’s GIS Committee
3. Background of GIS in 9-1-1 A Short History
4. 1990’s Automatic Number Identification – Gave PSAPs the ability to map a caller based on their landline telephone number. Resource intensive PSAP had to managed records associating telephone number to location Automatic Location Identification (Wireline) – Gave PSAPs the ability to map a caller based on their physical address. Less resource intensive Location / Telephone number information managed by the telephone providers Address information managed by the PSAP GIS / Mapping was deployed in very few PSAPs Seatol Mapping Deployed (1992) FCC Order Issued for Wireless Location Required carriers to provide location of 9-1-1 caller by early 2000’s ANI Example 701-123-4567 ALI Example (Wireline): 701-123-4567 John Doe 1661 Capitol Way, Bismarck, ND Bismarck Fire 5 Metro Ambulance Bismarck PD
5. 2000’s Wireless Carriers began providing Latitude/Longitude location in ALI for 9-1-1 callers. Incentivized PSAPs to deploy GIS/Mapping software to locate the caller GIS / Mapping system deployment percentage began to increase because of wireless Many PSAPs deployed standalone mapping systems GIS / Mapping was used, primarily, to locate the caller after the 9-1-1 call was received. Management of consistency between landline ALI databases and GIS database became an issue ALI Example (Wireless): 701-123-4567 -101.654654, 46.78978 Uncertainty: 20 meters
6. 2010 & Beyond GIS is finding its way into all types of technologies in the PSAP (CAD, Recording, Records Management, etc.) GIS lives at the core of Next Generation 9-1-1 System (NG9-1-1) Based on information maintained at the local level ALI is being completely replaced in NG9-1-1, eliminating the consistency problems that have existed between ALI databases and GIS databases. States, Counties, Municipalities, and Tribal Organizations throughout the country have begun work on their GIS in preparation for NG9-1-1
7. Next Generation 9-1-1 and GIS It’s Here!
8. How is GIS used in Next Generation 9-1-1? GIS is used to keep 9-1-1 data clean and consistent Step 1: Telephone Carrier, “Is this address OK?” Step 2: GIS Database, “Yes” Step 3: Telephone Carrier, “Great, I’ll store it then” GIS 911 Database
9. How is GIS used in Next Generation 9-1-1? GIS is used to deliver the call to the correct PSAP Step 1: Telephone Carrier, “I have this location for the caller, where should I direct their call?” Step 2: GIS Database, “Direct them here” Step 3: Telephone Carrier, “Will do, Thanks!” GIS 911 Call PSAP
10. How is GIS used in Next Generation 9-1-1? GIS is used to deliver the call to the correct PSAP Step 1: PSAP, “I just received a 911 call for this location, who should I have respond?” Step 2: GIS Database, “Here are the responders” Step 3: PSAP, “Thanks!” GIS FIRE LAW EMS Dispatch (Radio, Pager, etc.)
11. How is GIS used in Next Generation 9-1-1? GIS is used to Save Lives Every Day, Every Call
12. How do Counties fit into this picture? County Government has an extremely important role to play!!! GIS data MUST be developed GIS data MUST be meticulously maintained GIS data MUST be changed as changes occur… not when someone gets around to them. County Responsibilities Include: Address Information (Roads and Address Points) Service Boundary Information (PSAP, Law, Fire, EMS)
13. How do I get started? Good News! Work has already begun. Seamless Base Map Project Three Phase Project to Develop Road and Address Point GIS data. State Radio Counties (2012-2013) Western Counties (2013-2014) Eastern Counties (2014-2015) Project Includes a FREE GIS Maintenance Tool. Counties must decide how they want to maintain their data and identify a resource
14. GIS Maintenance Resource Options Identify someone on staff that can perform GIS Maintenance Make sure to have a backup plan! Hire someone that can perform GIS Maintenance Make sure to have a backup plan! Hire a vendor that can perform GIS Maintenance on your behalf Still need to communicate changes to your vendor Hire NDACo to perform GIS Maintenance on your behalf Recent program added to address 9-1-1 GIS maintenance for counties in need
15. GIS Maintenance Method Options Use the NDDES Geocomm tools to maintain data directly Use the NDDES Geocomm tools to submit change orders DES would make the edits on your behalf Edit your GIS data internally and submit to NDDES
16. Advice Figure out what you will do for maintenance resources Who will do the work? Do we need a backup plan? Figure out what you will do for maintenance method How will the work be done? Take the seamless base map project VERY seriously As the project begins work in your jurisdiction make sure to get involved This is the data we’ll be using for 9-1-1, It is IMPERATIVE that it be collected and maintained. Know where you fall into the seamless base map project 2013 / 2014 / 2015 Need to make a decision before then Ask Questions if you have them!
17. GIS Technical Committee & GIS Hub Bob Nutsch
18. About the GISTC The GIS Technical Committee (GISTC) was established by Executive Order 1995-05 and re-affirmed by 2001-06 The GISTC coordinates and directs GIS activities within the state The Full GISTC meets annually The GISTC meets monthly
19. Executive GISTC Membership State Water Commission – Rod Bassler Dept. of Health – Ann Fritz Dept. of Transportation – Brian Bieber Game and Fish – Brian Hosek Geological Survey – Elroy Kadrmas Parks and Recreation – Chris Dirk Information Technology Dept. – Bob Nutsch Land Dept.* – Levi Erdmann Public Service Commission* – Bruce Johnson Oil & Gas Division* – Brock Wahl Dept.

20. Mission The State of North Dakota's GIS Hub will provide the essential infrastructure to share core geographic datasets through an accessible data warehouse among stakeholders with browsing ability to the general public. The Hub will leverage the State's existing data, infrastructure and expertise to implement the core elements of this enterprise solution.
21. Who do we work with? State agencies Cities Counties Tribal Higher Education Federal agencies
22. Goals http://www.nd.gov/gis/about/plan/
23. GIS Hub The purpose of the GIS Hub is to provide a central database and web infrastructure serving state agencies General funding began with the 2001-2003 Biennium Located at the Information Technology Department (www.nd.gov/gis)
