Geographic Information Systems (GIS) may serve a minor role in legacy 911 systems, but it will be an integral part of the next-generation technologies. The sooner 911 professionals realize this and start preparing, the smoother their transition to a next-generation 911 system will be, according to panelists at the recent Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) conference.
GIS will become the ‘hero’ of 911, says APCO panelist

GIS will become the ‘hero’ of 911, says APCO panelist
-- Urgent Communications, 9/2/2014
“As we shift focus to the future, GIS will become the hero in the next-generation 911 world and the basis for a lot of what happens. It’s really shifting the role from being a supporting role to being perhaps the heart and soul of call routing and many of the other functions. We’re shifting into this hugely geospatial world.”
-- Sean Petty, Mission Critical Partners
2015 NC GIS Conference 8
“…the heart and soul of call routing…”
Call routing: today
Emergency Service Number
Location determination
Call routing: NG scenario
Locational determination from call initiation
Location “travels” with the call through ESInet
GIS maps of PSAP coverage areas will route calls
Calls can be dynamically routed to backup / secondary sites
