Indian River County, Florida f " C> Address Point Creation �1_ N Currently the Fire and EMS Divisions use New World Systems software for Records Management and Computer Aided Dispatch . The Emergency Services Department uses Interact Public Safety Systems for meeting the public safety needs within the community . Indian River County is interested in an Emergency Notification System in the future . To have the most accurate Geographic Information System for Emergency Operations, data needs to be pulled from various key sources . These primary sources include a Graphical Digital Base Map , a Point Address Database with accurate X,Y coordinates, and an accurate road centerline database that contains items such as street names and ranges . Creating an accurate address point layer will prepare Indian River County for the future implementation of an Emergency Notification System . Accurate Street Centerline data is critical in the geocoding process in Step 2 . Indian River County has a digital street centerline layer maintained in an ArcGIS format by the Emergency Services Department . Currently, the street centerline layer is accurate and new roads are added using mapping grade GPS technology . Originally , the streets were manually derived and " rubbersheeted " using Aerial Photography . The address ranges are inputted regularly and are currently adequate to perform address matching ( Figure 6 ) . The street centerline layer will need to be checked thoroughly before the commencement of the geocoding process . Records that contain empty road name fields, missing to/from address ranges , noted as needing to be field verified by the County, or have conflicts with the MSAG database need to be addressed and corrected . Having an accurate street centerline layer will also be valuable for the future Implementation of an Emergency Notification System . - Ir _ em.n n..nw. s I 1 Mr.- H 5 IV � $fECYANIE YnpN Figure 6 An accurate address point layer can benefit other departments . For Example , the CD- Plus database used by the Community Development for permitting and inspections, code enforcement , occupational license , development review , and growth management can be spatially enabled and converted to GIS layers . Allowing for GIS-based mapping and spatial analysis of building permits, inspections , and other pertinent information contained in the database . The reports from the geocoding database can help assist in the verification of this database for accuracy .
