Orthoimagery Options

• Add CIR– Separate 3-band images

• Increase resolution up to 0.5-ft GSD• True Orthorectification• Custom Mosaics• Accelerated Delivery

Street Address Mapping(SAM)

Create a statewide authoritative address point database to support next-

generation 9-1-1 and other purposes

SAM Big Picture• Next Generation 911 requires GIS data• Huge range of needs for address data statewide • Building to highest level requirements (i.e. 911) will support all 

lower requirements• Not a re-addressing project; we’re just mapping what you've got• Address point data will…– Support 9-1-1 dispatch– Be publicly available for widespread uses– Support high-quality geocoding– Contain no personal or sensitive information– Contain unique IDs

NENA Address Standards• FGDC Standard(February 2011)– Parses/breaks out addresses into smaller components– Jointly developed by URISA & NENA– Includes subaddresses

• NENA version– Allows some abbreviations– NENA reviewing 200+ public comments 

•Mapping (location) standard for address points lacking–Where to place a point & how many points?– NENA standing up a work group–Will follow NENA standards development process
