E911 Project
The Idaho Emergency Communications Commission (IECC) assists cities, counties,
ambulance districts and fire districts in the establishment, management, operations,
and accountability of consolidated emergency communications systems. To
participate in the E911 program, the Coeur d’Alene IT/GIS department is creating
blueprints of the Tribal government offices on the reservation. Using our employee
phone directory, points were generated for each phone number, which corresponds to
a physical office location. Offices in buildings without an existing room numbering
system were assigned numbers, and a three character code was created for each building.
Additional information for each phone number includes:
• Building Name
• Floor and Room Number
• Employee First and Last Name
• Employee Position
• Department
• Program
This information would allow any 911 call made within the Tribal internal phone network to
be traced by the dispatcher, and then emergency personnel could be dispatched accordingly.
A final project goal is to create and manage a web application available to Tribal departments,
which will facilitate and simplify employee contact information.
