Destry Dearden, Lincoln County IT/GIS

The Next Generation 911 working group created a dashboard to depict GIS data status, PSAP boundaries, submitted data and wildland fire dispatch boundaries.  There is also a Validate/Upload tool that can be used to generally assess your data against the NENA standards.  This tool does not compare against the WY NG911 Data Model, but it provides information to give you an idea how much work you will need to put into matching that model.  I will walk through Lincoln County’s experience, good and bad, in using this Validate Tool.
