Call for Participants: Site/Structure Address Points (SSAP) Workgroup
 Print this Article | Send to Colleague
This workgroup is tasked with the creation of a NENA information document to guide the development of site/structure address point creation in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Site/structure address points must represent addresses assigned by the local 9-1-1 addressing authority, which may not reflect in all cases the current addresses in use today in Commercial or USPS databases. This document is meant to provide PSAP management, vendors, and other interested parties guidelines for the development of a site/structure GIS layer, including sub address level attribute fields. Sub address level attribute fields are already defined within NENA document 71-003, 'NENA Standards for NG9-1-1 GIS Data Model.' The NG9-1-1 GIS Data Model outlines the recommended table structure for this type of 9-1-1 GIS layer but does not define the placement or spatial representation criteria for site/structure address points. The development and presentation of this recommended criteria is the main goal of the SSAP Workgroup.
The SSAP Workgroup will take into account NG9-1-1 functionality within the Location Validation Function/Emergency Call Routing Function (LVF/ECRF) as well as general data use for public safety.
