Missouri 911 will launch a GIS Remediation Project to update the 911 mapping throughout Wright, Howell and Ozark Counties. The project, funded by grants using federal ARPA funds, aims to improve the accuracy of the county map and address data used by emergency responders.
Mapping engineers from the three counties and Missouri 911 contractor SDR Inc. will drive throughout the cities, towns, and some recreational areas to verify the locations of apartment units, mobile homes in trailer parks, individual business locations in strip malls, and any additional multiplexes. The 911 field vehicle will be clearly marked with white signs and “911 Mapping” in red letters.
The 911 field vehicle will stop in front of structures to observe, verify, and document the posted address. Technicians will not knock on doors or conduct interviews with residents. The technician will mark the record for further investigation if no address is posted or legible. They may leave the vehicle to verify the layout of apartment units in buildings but will not trespass on private property.
The project is expected to be completed by mid-October.
