Outline

• Enhanced 911 (E911)
• Akimekas Role
• Project Goal
• Model Structure
• Final Results
• Next Steps
• Civil Defense Mini Project
• Final Facts about E911

3
Enhanced 911

• 60 of 911 calls are from wireless phones
• Old 911 system could not map wireless calls
• Geographical Information System-based program
• Uses GIS information to locate wireless 911
  calls

4
What is GIS?

• Geographical Information Systems (GIS)A system
  of hardware and software used for storage,
  retrieval, mapping, and analysis of geographic
  data.

Akimekas Role

• Update GIS layers in 911 database for Maui,
  Hawaii, and Kauai Counties
• Offer solutions and troubleshooting for the 911
  center

8
Akimekas Role

• 911 Centers need frequent updates
• Maui County does not have the man power to create
  GIS layers
• Maui County has not been able to update new
  Subdivision Parcels since 2006
• Akimeka must find other solutions

9
Project Goal

• Create a Geoprocessing Model in ArcGIS, that
  will automatically update existing data layers
  in the 911 database
• Geoprocessing is a GIS operation that manipulates
  and/or creates GIS data

Next Steps for Parcel Updates

• Geographical Benchmark
• A surveyor's mark made on a stationary object
• of previously determined position and
• elevation and used as a reference point in tidal
• observations and surveys.

Wireless 911 Fact

• Maui County was the first county in Hawaii to
  implement this system.
• There are 3,142 Counties in the United States,
  but fewer than 400 currently have the
  capabilities the County of Maui possesses today.
