Jasper County 9-1-1 Board
Completes Address Database
Review. -
works with local post
offices to advise of new construction.
The final version of the
Enhanced 9-1-1 Address Database has been received
and reviewed by the staff at the 9-1-1 Center.
chairman of the Jasper County Emergency Services
Board, Harlan Snow, reports that local control of
the data has become final with this delivery.
Changes and corrections have begun as the new
data is prepared for use in dispatching and
routing emergency services throughout the County.
The Board has struggled with the address portion
of the project since errors were detected in
earlier versions, and some were found in this
last set as well, said Snow. The staff at the
Center have worked extra hours to clean up the
data and make adjustments that would minimize any
required address changes for Citizens of the
County.
In addition, the Board has
approved the regular reporting to county post
offices of any new structures and addresses. The
local postal employees are valuable allies in
getting this project finally completed, said
Snow, who acknowledged that data errors had
caused some frustration and concern among Center
staff and U.S. Post Office employees.
The final database has been
distributed to post offices and telephone
companies to facilitate the prompt transition to
the corrected addresses as well as make the
required entries in the appropriate telephone
database. The Board must provide data to at least
five different telephone service providers on a
regular basis to maintain the integrity of the
addressing system. The computerized mapping
program that identifies addresses, which are in
the databases, will also be upgraded to match the
new datasets, said Bill Cade, Executive Director.
This has been a long and
difficult process said Snow, who acknowledged
that the errors resulted in some residents
receiving more than one address.
