GIS & Mapping Systems for Public Safety
Overview
While E-911 systems have eliminated most of the problems associated with callers misstating or call-takers mis-hearing addresses, the problem of actually finding the address remains. The answers to those problems are uncertain, there's an emerging solution that public safety organizations are beginning to turn to: increasingly versatile GPS technology and its database companion, the Geographical Information System (GIS), a pair of powerful tools that are having a major influence on the way public safety agencies, utilities, agricultural concerns, conservationists, and natural resource managers do business. In practice, that means identifying, mapping and later locating buildings, fire hydrants, power lines, or any other physical feature, not by street address, but by GPS coordinates.
