Jason Horning NG9-1-1 Program Manager @ NDACo Bob Nutsch State GIS Coordinator @ State of ND Saving Lives with GIS Slide 2 Overview Background of GIS in 9-1-1 Next Generation 9-1-1 and GIS Its here! GIS Maintenance Its up to you! GIS Technical Committee (GISTC) & GIS Hub 9-1-1 Associations GIS Committee Slide 3 Background of GIS in 9-1-1 A Short History Slide 4 1990s 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 2000s 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 Slide 5 2000s 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 Slide 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 Slide 7 Next Generation 9-1-1 and GIS Its Here! Slide 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, Ill store it then GIS 911 Database Slide 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 PSAP 911 Call Slide 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 Dispatch (Radio, Pager, etc.) FIRE EMSLAW Slide 11 How is GIS used in Next Generation 9-1-1? GIS is used to Save Lives Every Day, Every Call Slide 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) Slide 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 Slide 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 Slide 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 Slide 16 Slide 17 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 well 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! Slide 18 GIS Technical Committee & GIS Hub Bob Nutsch Slide 19 19 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 Slide 20 20 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.

The Hub will leverage the State's existing data, infrastructure and expertise to implement the core elements of this enterprise solution. Slide 22 Who do we work with?
