GeoComm Enhances NG9-1-1 Readiness for Morgan County

GeoComm Partners with Morgan County for Enhanced Emergency Services
GeoComm, an established leader in public safety GIS data management, has been selected by Morgan County to significantly enhance its Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) readiness. This collaboration reflects GeoComm's ongoing dedication to fostering safer, quicker emergency response mechanisms through high-quality GIS data solutions, critical for efficient location tracking during emergencies.
Strengthening NG9-1-1 Readiness
To boost their NG9-1-1 capabilities, Morgan County is implementing several key initiatives:
Comprehensive GIS Data Assessment
The county will conduct a thorough GIS Data Assessment to ensure that their existing data meets the national NG9-1-1 standards. This step is vital for creating a solid foundation for effective emergency response.
Access to Advanced GIS Tools
Morgan County will benefit from continual access to GeoComm's premier GIS Data Management tools. These resources are crucial for maintaining data accuracy and facilitating seamless integration with service providers dedicated to NG9-1-1.
Automated Master Street Address Guide Development
As part of their commitment to NG9-1-1, the county will utilize an Automated Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) Development Service. This innovative service will aid in the county's transition towards enhanced emergency response systems.
Creating a Clear Roadmap
With GeoComm’s GIS Data Analysis Report, the GIS team at Morgan County now has a clear and actionable roadmap to update their data according to national standards. Utilizing GeoComm's GIS Data Hub enables the county to independently produce quality control reports, tracking their progress effectively over the coming months. This strategic approach guarantees that their data remains in alignment with NG9-1-1 readiness for the long term.
Localized Emergency Support
Recognizing the pivotal role of accurate, high-quality GIS data for routing emergency calls, the county is working closely with GeoComm to develop a new Master Street Address Guide (MSAG). Following the completion of local updates, GeoComm will generate the MSAG using their validated GIS dataset. This will ensure that both Morgan County and their NG9-1-1 service provider receive precise and reliable dispatch information.
Ongoing Data Quality Reporting and Technology Integration
The comprehensive initiative includes regular data quality reports and the implementation of Spatial Interface (SI) technology. This automation facilitates the secure transfer of GIS data directly to the NG9-1-1 service provider. Such enhancements streamline workflow processes while minimizing the risk of human error, thereby bolstering the confidence of first responders in the accuracy of the information provided for their operations.
Expert Insights on the Partnership
Bill McCullough, VP Sales & Marketing at GeoComm, noted, "Morgan County's selection of GeoComm highlights the critical nature of accurate, standards-based GIS data essential for community safety. We take pride in our role in enhancing their emergency response capabilities and are excited to contribute our extensive public safety GIS expertise to the region."

Morgan County’s decision to partner with GeoComm adds to the increasing list of West Virginia communities that have chosen GeoComm for its proven track record of innovative technology, trusted expertise, and outstanding customer support in advancing public safety initiatives.
