GIS OUTREACH/PLANNING

• GIS is CRITICAL to achieving NG9-1-1• Without good GIS, NG9-1-1 is not possible.

• Please ensure you have identified an effective maintenance plan and resource for the added level of effort required!• 9-1-1 Association’s GIS Committee• Ongoing discussions with DOT, ITD, Tax Department• Required Layers for NG9-1-1 have been identified• Working to establish layer authority and responsibility• Who is responsible for maintaining each layer?• Who is responsible for aggregating each layer?• Who will provision the aggregated GIS data into the NG9-1-1

system?

GIS OUTREACH/PLANNING

• NDACo considering an end-to-end GIS Maintenance Service if necessary• Counties/Cities/PSAPs will drive that need

• Please come see me if you have questions!

NG9-1-1 OUTREACH

• PSAP Visits• Visited 21 of 22 PSAPs thus far• Explain the NG9-1-1 Program• Answered NG9-1-1 questions and potential impacts• Gathered trunk/switch layouts (for transition planning)

• Continued meetings with DCN / ITD / CenturyLink• Setting expectations

NG9-1-1 PLANNING

• Phase I (2013-2014)• ESInet deployment, Legacy Connectivity and Data

Centers• Phase II (2015-2016)• 9-1-1 Database Aggregation and NG9-1-1 Core Service

Build-out• Phase III (2017 +)• PSAP / Originating Service Provider Migration and Long-

Term Maintenance

OTHER NOTABLE UPDATES
