The State of Arizona

Implementation of a statewide emergency management system through aggregation
of geospatial data layers from numerous local government entities to support Next
Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) requirements for geospatial based call routing.

Public Safety NG9-1-1 Enterprise Solution that establishes an automated NG9-1-1 workflow for data validation and integration to support the state-wide build-out.

Throughout the country, state 9-1-1 programs are in the midst of
or are beginning the process of transitioning to NG9-1-1.

To successfully implement geospatial call routing, it takes
significant coordination with local data providers to aggregate the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) required
datasets which consist of Address Points, Road Centerlines, PSAP Boundaries, Emergency Service Boundaries (Law Enforcement, Fire and Emergency Medical Services) and related Provisioning Boundaries.

NENA has released and continues to author new standards for geospatial data supporting NG9-1-1. Arizona will use these standards as a statewide baseline and provision the data into the State’s Next Generation Core Services (NGCS)

1Spatial will provide implementation and training services for 1Integrate and 1Data Gateway in support of Arizona’s NG9-1-1 buildout. The tools will provide validation of the data maintained by the State based on NENA’s NG9-1-1 schema requirements for attribute accuracy and completeness as well as to ensure the data meets the NG9-1-1 geospatial requirements. The
automated validation process will not only serve the needs of
the State, but will also support the State’s 9-1-1 Agency Partners.

This will provide an easy-to-use portal for them to validate their
data and receive spatial reports back immediately following
validation. This will help pinpoint where the data appears to violate the NENA requirements in order to drive agency partners
to the specific location and rule violation to make the clean-up
process much easier and much more efficient.

Further, as the licenses are enterprise-wide and available for
use by other State agencies, the project will also support use cases for the Arizona Department of Lands (National Address Database & Statewide Locator) and the Arizona Department of Transportation (All Roads Linear Referenced Data)

The Arizona 9-1-1 Program is administered by the Arizona
Department of Administration (ADOA) which has oversight to
the implementation of 9-1-1 across the State’s fifteen (15) 9-1-1
systems that consist of 81 PSAPs.

The program provides guidance that relates to operational and
technical requirements as Arizona begins to transition towards
NG9-1-1. The program also provides recommendations and
opportunities for funding to support GIS incentives.

NENA has released and continues to author new standards
for geospatial data supporting NG9-1-1. 1Spatial is monitoring
such changes to ensure their NG9-1-1 rules pack is up to date
with any new confirmed requirements. Arizona will use these standards as a statewide baseline and provision the data into the State’s Next Generation Core Services (NGCS).

We continue to work with the DOT on data integration challenges related to Right-Of-Way AutoCAD drawings. We plan on helping Arizona Department of Public Lands on implementing a similar workflow to deal with Parcel layers.
