Ongoing Industry Participation

NENA GIS Data Stewardship Workgroup – Boundary Data

The GIS Data Stewardship Workgroup gives special consideration to GIS layers used for Location Validation and Emergency Call Routing Functions in NG9-1-1. Specifically, this workgroup seeks to address PSAP boundaries as a GIS layer, as well as responder boundaries in a first step toward a primary document covering all GIS data required for NG9-1-1.
