Next Generation 9-1-1 Readiness Assessment

As the transition to the new NG9-1-1 framework begins across the country, the need for robust, accurate and up-to-date GIS data and infrastructure will be mission-critical to the future success of 9-1-1 services.

NG9-1-1 is a fundamental change in the way 9-1-1 services are provided in North America. This new approach will rely on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to accurately locate the 9-1-1 caller and forward the call to the appropriate responder(s). Accurately locating the caller is wholly dependent on the GIS data provided by municipalities and will be crucial to NG9-1-1 success. NG9-1-1 introduces a new national GIS data standard that all jurisdictions providing 9-1-1 service must meet.
