Localities, PSAPs, GIS staff, contractors, and PDCs across the commonwealth are working to prepare GIS data for NG9-1-1, asking questions like:
- When does the GIS data have to be done?
- How will I know when the GIS data is done?
- How do I get access to the EGDMS system?
- When will I have my GIS Kickoff meeting?
- What happens if my PSAP boundary goes outside my provisioning boundary?
- When I load my provisioning boundary to EGDMS, what box do I check?
- How will my ESNs work in the new environment? (Save Wednesday 7/22 from 2-3:30 pm for a webinar on this topic!)
- If my neighbor is behind me in the deployment schedule and I go live, how will call routing work in the in-between areas?
- Do I need Law, Fire, and EMS Emergency Service Boundary layers?
- What should I use for Discrepancy Agency ID?
Starting July 29, the 9-1-1 & Geospatial Services Bureau will be hosting a live “user group” discussion and Q&A session on webex twice a month where we will answer questions like these that have come in and questions you come up with. Rather than a presentation or document, we see the benefit of discussing your examples, situations, and scenarios in a group environment so all involved can move to NG9-1-1 with confidence. Save up your questions or send them ahead of time to matt.gerike@vdem.virginia.gov with the subject “user group” and join the conversation.
If you have a specific situation, be ready to share your screen!
Important: If you have a pressing question that is holding you up, let us know as well so we get you a response rather than holding it to the 29th.
