Late last year, the Tazewell County ETSB contracted with Cloudpoint Geographics to provide GIS Data Cleanup and Configuration in preparation for NG9-1-1. The contract includes the following major components that will be configured and delivered through Esri’s ArcGIS platform including ArcGIS Online for communities to submit updates to road centerline and address data.
Data Assessment to review existing data and analyze errors
Integration of GIS updates with the Client’s CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) system
Coordination with local agencies to incorporate local GIS data layers
Building structure points layer with classification
Spatial updates to road centerlines and address points
Correcting topological errors in boundary layers
Converting data format and spatial reference to State of Illinois’ NG9-1-1 Data Standards
Setup & integration of Enterprise GIS for data exchange with local agencies
Ongoing GIS data maintenance
The results of this project will assist Tazewell County 9-1-1 dispatchers and emergency responders by improving data accuracy and increasing efficiency in response times. Additionally it will provide increased communications between the county 9-1-1 and local addressing authorities.
