Regional 9-1-1 Data Viewer Project

Project Overview

The MetroGIS partners are working together to support the development and maintenance of a Regional 9-1-1 Data Viewer application. This application will be evolving in the coming months to meet the articulated needs of the 9-1-1 user community

Purpose, Need and Goal

The goal of this project is to have available an easy-to-use, well-designed, data viewer which contains specific datasets central to the business needs of the work of E9-1-1 and transition toward NextGen9-1-1. The primary uses of this application would be for the shared viewing, enhancement of inter-agency communications and understanding the relationships of the datasets to one another. This application is intended primarily as a reference and as a resource for viewing the available regional datasets and enhancing communications and to facilitate the interactions between the GIS-enabled and non-GIS enabled professionals engaged in the work of E9-1-1 and NextGen9-1-1.

GIS Data Provisioning for NextGen9-1-1
The summary (6 page) document available here provides a high-level summary of how the metro partners are working together to provide inter-jurisdictional data needed by NextGen9-1-1.

Link to the Prototype Data Viewer Application
At present, the 9-1-1 Data Viewer is available as an early prototype in ArcGIS Online. Subsequent revisions, changes and versions will be developed during 2019 and made available as participating stakeholders identify their needs and uses for the application.
