Abstract
Utilizing GIS for Emergency Planning and Beyond
Track: EMS, Fire, Disaster Management
Author(s): Rebecca Ault
Pembina County has digitized road information and incorporated resident addresses for the 911 system. The County has automated the link between its 911 database mapping system generating a map of the location of the caller. Route identification for responders is automated. A fax feature was implemented for emergency responders enabling them to receive a map of the call location as well as other information the dispatcher may send. What started as a project for the 911 system has evolved into a multiple department, multifunction system. This paper will attempt to show participants how digitized mapping can aid in emergency planning and also used in day-to-day operations in multiple departments.
