9-1-1 Mapping

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and location accuracy are critical components for locating a 9-1-1 emergency caller quickly and efficiently. GIS data is used in all 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) today for map displays, call routing and address verification. As 9-1-1 transitions into the future and uses new technology for locating a 9-1-1 caller, it is crucial that the location of the caller is correct and accurate. The 9-1-1 Program continues to partner with local, state and federal partners as well as industry leaders to develop, maintain and support quality GIS location data.

The 9-1-1 Program is committed to consistency, improvement and compliance in matters related to Oregon’s 9-1-1 mapping systems. The program’s Geographic Information System (GIS) staff lead statewide coordination efforts in the following areas:

Standards Involvement in national data standards efforts (National Emergency Number Association - NENA, Federal Geographic Data Committee - FGDC)
Incorporation of industry standards into Oregon 9-1-1 mapping efforts
Communication Coordination with other state and local government stakeholders
Facilitates data-sharing requests between stakeholders
