Abstract
The GIS Puzzle: Mapping for E911 and Phase II WirelessTrack: EMS, Fire, Disaster Management
Author(s): Valerie K. Zecher
Accurate digital maps for public safety applications are paramount as E911 moves toward Phase II wireless requirements. Responding to wireless calls within 125 meters will require accurate, georeferenced basemaps. Public safety organizations need to compile existing GIS data, GPS road centerline data, boundaries, imagery, and addressing. CAD vendors utilize this GIS data for their tactical map to locate incidents and perform unit recommendations. These basemaps are required as organizations add AVL to their CAD for improved dispatching and response. This presentation will discuss how the puzzle comes together and will provide examples of areas already implementing this process.
