1 E Geographic Information System Created By: Freda Rocker Pearl River County Mapping

2 Overview of Pearl River County E Communications District GIS In 1998 the Pearl River County E Communications District saw the need to implement a Geographic Information System to prepare for FCC Rule in regards to locating the Wireless (Cellular) Caller in an emergency situation. In implementing GIS we will also help the Wireline Caller s. Funding for this project came from E Funds designated for the sole purpose of this project. After researching extensively, the District purchased ESRI ArcView 3.2a platform and GeoLink Software with a Differential GPS Unit using Omnistar Satellite. In 1999 the Centerline Road Base Data was collected. The E Communications District is continuing the updates of all New Centerline Road Base Data with our GIS and GPS Software.

The Digital Orthophotography, which will be completed within the next two years, can enhance the Emergency Service First Responders and future Emergency Planning and Infrastructure with the location of structures not yet addressed and roads not yet Digitized. Population Growth Statistics Pearl River County population increased by 23.9 % * State of Mississippi average: 7.5 % National average of 9.6 % *U.S. Census Bureau 2000 Population Statistics

9 Hardware Capabilities Existing Computer System (if any) Network Capabilities (if any) Access to Internet (if any) Upgrade Computer System or Purchase Computer(s) Implement a Network and Network Platform based on Operating System Hardware needed for Data Collection Printers and Plotters

10 Critical & Immediate Needs Assessment You may know where you are and GOD may know where you are, But if your Dispatcher does not know where you are, You and GOD had better be on GOOD Terms.

11 Creating a GIS Project Plan Contact a County or City that has started a GIS Project to Ascertain if they have a Project Plan in Place. Why reinvent the wheel?

12 MS Code Pertaining to GIS Go to State Agencies, then to Secretary of State. You will then go to the MS Code. This will bring you to the Lexus site. You will search by Geographic Information System.

13 Federal and State GIS Standards The NSDI (National Spatial Data Infrastructure) is the Standards, which are set for the Nation. Technical Standards. APCO's Project LOCATE releases 2002 Special Report. MS I Team is working on Standards for the State of Mississippi.
