The Future of Emergency Response: NG911 and ArcGIS Pro

15 February 2024

Written by Kevin Jamison

Next Generation 911 (NG911) is a modernized emergency response system for the United States. NG911 aims to improve emergency communication capabilities by implementing new technologies, such as GIS, into the existing 911 infrastructure. ArcGIS Pro has bunch of tools integrated in their software that enable emergency response agencies to utilize GIS data for more accurate location tracking, to improve routing of emergency services, and create better situational awareness during emergency incidents. Emergency responders can access and analyze the geographic data in real-time, facilitating a faster and more effective response to emergencies.

What is NG911?

 

NG911 is a tool that helps to improve ways to receive and respond to 911 calls. With NG911, you no longer have to dial a phone number. Instead, you have the ability to text, send pictures, and send videos (including support for American Sign Language users) from an incident. The geographical location data is then sent to the right PSAP and they are able to pinpoint the exact location of the incident, making it easier to get help at the location as fast as possible. With NG911 there is no longer a need to determine which emergency response agency to call.
