Maintaining the emergency 911 GIS mapping is among the duties of the E911 department, as well as assigning new 911 addresses county-wide. The procedure for obtaining a 911 address requires the 911 coordinator to go out to a location and take a GPS reading and then refer to the GIS map to determine what the address will be. Citizens are asked to contact the E911 office as early as possible to give ample time to do the field work. It is very important to post your 911 address at the end of your driveway to be visible by emergency personnel.
