Track: Computer Aided Dispatch and 911
Authors: Ken Wall

NG911 heavy dependence on GIS is a major challenge for rural areas as they struggle to maintain sustainable GIS capacity. ArcGIS Online (AGOL) provides tools to enhance sustainability. NG 911 provides the best opportunity in a generation to demonstrate the capability and value of GIS to community leaders with bipartisan support for public safety. We will present case studies from two rural Montana counties, Teton and Carbon, who collaborated in a year long program to apply AGOL to NG911.
