Dan Miller E911 GIS Manager Washington State 9-1-1 Program Office

Esri International Users Conference 2014

Agenda

• Background on the State of Washington

• Assessing the Status: The “State of Washington”

• What is this “Next Generation” Stuff anyway?

• Challenges Ahead

• RFI in the Making – RFP to Follow

• Solutions?

• Summary


Washington: The State • Area: 71,362 sq mi (18th in size)

• Home of the Super Bowl Champion Seahawks!


• Early Adopters of GIS (eg. ESRI, low Customer #s)

• 39 Counties – 39 Different Ways of doing GIS…

- One County – No GIS!!!

• GIS software: ArcView 3.2 ArcGIS 10.2.1, Intergraph, MapInfo

• GIS Specialists (9-1-1)

- Some work for PSAPs, most work for counties

- Wide Range of Skills, duties as assigned.

• State 9-1-1 Program Office

- New GIS Manager Position

Washington: GIS Perspective


• Implemented Enhanced 9-1-1 (1992 – 1999)

- Cost $57M, ~41K miles of roads addressed

• Statewide ESInet (2009 - 2011)

• 39 Counties – 69 PSAPs - 57 Primary: One Tribal, 2 military, 4 state patrol

- 12 Secondary: 3 fire PSAPs, 4 state patrol, 5 back-ups

Washington: 9-1-1 Perspective


January 1999

66,536 Sq. Mi. 5,606,800

Total Cost $57 Million 41K Miles of road addressed


Washington: 911 - GIS Perspective

• GIS Questionnaire – Survey Monkey - 39 County Coordinators plus State Patrol - 25 Questions, “The facts Ma’am, just the facts…” - What Do You Have? What Don’t You Have?

• Quick Survey - Excel - GIS Specialists - 5 Questions: “KISS” - Details of Data Specifics

• GIS Diversity - Who’s doing the GIS for 9-1-1? - What skills do you have? - How Can WE Help?


Survey Monkey Questionnaire Question #10: The Data Layers


Survey Monkey Questionnaire


Question #12: Frequency of Updates

?

Survey Monkey Questionnaire


Question #20: Have Synced your data?

?

Follow Up Survey – 5 Questions • Specific Questions about the data:

- Segments in Road Centerline

- Number of ESZ Polygons

- PSAP Polygons

- Municipal Boundary Polygons

- County Boundary Polygons

• Survey sent to the GIS Specialists, quicker turn around.

• Results of Questionnaire & Survey “Crunched”!


The Survey Results in Excel

Five datasets and their make-up: segments, polygons.

Follow Up Survey – Crunch #s

Cost of Data Creation=> Rate X Time = Unit Cost

- Road Centerline = .25 hours per segment

- ESZ Polygons = 1 hour per polygon

- PSAP Polygons = 4 hours per polygon

- Muni Bndry Polygons = 8 hours per polygon

• Assuming no data => $13,182,000! • But, data does exists, needs maintenance.

- $1,647,757 per year.


Next Generation 9-1-1: Oh My!


Next Generation 9-1-1: What the heck is it?


• ESInet (Emergency Service IP Network)

• ECRF/ESRP geospatial call routing

• LVF/LIS – authoritative location validation

• GIS Data – created to sprt ECRF/LVF & assoc. w/ GIS Mgmt Tools

• Publish Authoritative NG9-1-1 Routing Data for state & local levels

• Support for legacy originating service via gateways

• Ability to control call routing based upon policy routing

• Additional data acquisition after call delivery

• Support for the transfer of calls with call-takers notes and data

• Ability to interconnect with other NG9-1-1 systems

• Support for system monitoring (logging, discrepancy reports, etc.)

The Challenges

• Not all counties created equal: skills and money.

• Policies may not fund the work ahead - GIS Updates

- Lack of GIS Personnel

- Mixed bag of GIS software and workflows

- Different Funding by Counties (Contract vs. non-contract)

• Getting all the players on track to implement on

time.


Different Funding for Counties (from state)


GIS Subcommittee drafting RFI (or RFP)

• What do we need to know to move forward? - How to get the required datasets ready?

- How will the data be provisioned and maintained?

- Where the data be hosted (SIF, LVF, ECRF)?

• How will the GIS Data interact within the ESInet? - New ESInet (NG9-1-1 Network) RFP drafted

What about legacy process, equipment?


Solutions!?

• How to get compliance from all the players? - Home Rule State

- How do “we” help those that can’t help themselves?

- How do we create statewide datasets where it hasn’t

existed before?

• GIS Subcommittee making recommendations - Work with Policy Subcommittee

- Present to 9-1-1 Advisory Committee

- State 9-1-1 Director makes the final call

Solutions!

• Looked at other states, NG9-1-1 Early Adopter! - Alabama, Iowa, Maine, Tennessee, Vermont

- Talking to vendors, RFI being drafted to ideas

• New ESInet (NG9-1-1) may be in place “soon” - New way of doing business

- GIS a key component

- Paradigm in how data is updated and made available


Summary

• Little background on the State of Washington

• How we did our GIS assessment

• A brief overview of Next Generation 9-1-1

• What Challenges Washington Has Ahead

• Will an RFI give us the information we need?

• Still Looking for Solutions
