The NENA Information Document for GIS Data Stewardship for Next Generation 9-1-1 will assist GIS and PSAP staff in understanding and adopting best practices related to managing specific GIS data layers in support of Next Generation 9‑1‑1 (NG9‑1‑1) deployments. GIS data is at the heart of NG9‑1‑1 systems. Civic addresses associated with fixed caller locations are validated against GIS data to ensure that they can be mapped. When an emergency call is made, it is routed using the caller’s location along with the GIS boundaries of responder agencies to determine the correct responder.
