UGRC’s role in NG911 is centered on the GIS mapping, or 'geospatial' component. Truth be told - this GIS mapping task - in itself is quite an undertaking. It involves statewide GIS datasets that must be accurate, complete, and current, and the list of required and strongly recommended GIS map layers is comprehensive: address points, PSAP boundaries, municipal boundaries, mile markers and more. Thankfully though, Utah is already in good shape with this data, due to the partnership between UGRC and county and local government, which has resulted in most of these datasets already being NG911-ready. Additionally, UGRC has established state data standards and sharing agreements that facilitate the consistency and longevity of these datasets.

Today, thanks to the willingness and cooperation of agencies within Utah, we are excited to announce the first release of the [Utah NG911 GIS database](/products/sgid/911). This database is based on the National Emergency Number Association’s (NENA) standard for an NG9-1-1 [GIS Data Model](https://dev.nena.org/higherlogic/ws/public/download/9828/20161206_NG9-1-1%20GIS%20Data%20Model_PubRvw.pdf) in its current form. Schema-wise, UGRC will keep current with this standard and will update the Utah NG911 GIS database as NENA makes additions or changes to the specifications. NENA hopes to finalize this standard in the coming year or so. In terms of data content, UGRC will update the Utah NG911 GIS database on a monthly cycle in conjunction with our [road update cycle](/products/sgid/transportation/road-centerlines). However, UGRC can, and will, make updates more frequently as needed. UGRC continues to explore collaborative, web-based GIS editing platforms that will make near-live edits possible, thanks to authoritative GIS data stewards around the state.

## Want to Get Involved?

We encourage you to download the [Utah NG911 GIS Database](/products/sgid/911) and take a look at it. We are strong believers that the more eyes are on the data and the more the data is used, the better it will get. If nothing else, make sure house or business addresses, or both, are geocodable in both the `RoadCenterlines` and `AddressPoints` UGRC datasets. These are the datasets that will ensure proper 911 response to your location during an emergency situation.

If you don’t have the required tools and software to interact with the NG911 dataset, you can use our [mapping website](https://atlas.utah.gov/) to validate your address using the same underlying datasets. These datasets are only as good as we collectively make them, so give them a try and let us know if you experience any problems.

Over the last several months the newly renamed Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC) has been working hard to prepare the state for its transition to Next-Generation 911 (NG911). With NG911, emergency calls will rely on geospatial data for address validation and call routing. The old Enhanced 911 (E911) system, which relied on tabular data, will be gradually phased out after backing-up the geospatial data for a period of time. This means that the dispatch center, known as a public safety answering point (PSAP), that receives your 911 call will be selected based on your current location and the PSAP's service boundary. NG911 will also allow for dynamic changes to PSAP boundaries, allowing adjustments to call routing during large-scale emergencies, planned downtime, or periods of high call volume.

To facilitate this paradigm shift, nearly everyone at UGRC has been working (directly or indirectly) to ensure NG911 is a success. Dating back over the last few years, we've served as the geospatial subject matter expert for the Utah Communications Authority (UCA) as they reviewed contractor proposals. More recently, Motorola was awarded as the service provider for network infrastructure, PSAP call-handling systems, and the geospatial backbone of NG911, known as the core services. As the NG911 implementation date nears for Utah's first counties later this year, UGRC has been preparing the GIS data that will feed the system and working with 911 Datamaster to perform quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC). Specifically, we've built the following [datasets](/products/sgid/911) that will be included in the initial NG911 rollout:
