Beginning in 2015, the Public Service Communication Board, VITA Integrated Services Program staff, and staffs from public safety answering points (PSAPs) have been planning the deployment of Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) for the Commonwealth. Transitioning from the legacy telecommunication network will provide numerous benefits and flexibility looking towards the future. As the emergency services internet protocol network (ESInet) is fully deployed, geospatial call routing will use geographic information system (GIS) data provisioned by authoritative sources. This feature class contains the best available Provisioning Boundary Line segments received and processed by VGIN into Virginia State Plane South polygons. All segments are agreed to, but geometry may change in the future with new agreements. The data is available as a feature service https://vginmaps.vdem.virginia.gov/arcgis/rest/services/NG911/NG911_VA_StatePlaneSouth_NAD83_Provisioning_Polygon/FeatureServer. Guidance on connecting to feature services is available here: https://vginmaps.vdem.virginia.gov/download/ng911/Working_with_VGIN_Feature_Services.pdf. Additional resources and recommendations on GIS related topics are available on the VGIN 9-1-1 & GIS page.Data is believed to be current for its intended purpose. Data is provided as is. All warranties regarding the accuracy of the data and any representation or inferences derived there from are hereby expressly disclaimed.

Transitioning from the legacy telecommunication network will provide numerous benefits and flexibility looking towards the future. As the emergency services internet protocol network (ESInet) is fully deployed, geospatial call routing will use geographic information system (GIS) data provisioned by authoritative sources. This process includes compiling mutually agreed to available Provisioning Boundary Line segments received and processed by VITA ISP. Segments are connected by Provisioning Boundary Junctions. Road Centerline Snap to Points are created when an existing road centerline feature crosses an agreed-to provisioning boundary and are provided as a feature service https://vginmaps.vdem.virginia.gov/arcgis/rest/services/NG911/NG911_VA_StatePlaneSouth_NAD83_RCLSnapToPoint/FeatureServer in Virginia State Plane South.

Below is a quick rundown of the tools available in the web map!The first new thing you may notice is the ability to search from in the splash window that appears. This hopefully reduces the number of clicks people will need to get to their information. There's the same search bar in the upper left once you click out of the splash screen.The Query tool has existed in this form on the sub-maps, but now it is here with all the layers. I want to highlight "Search by Legal Description" as a nifty way to find parcels associated with a specific subdivision. I also want to highlight the "find tax parcels/addresses within specified distance" queries. Those let you select every tax parcel or address within a feature you draw (a point, line, or polygon). This is good for finding what properties within a distance need to be notified of something. That can then be exported as an Excel table (csv). This can also help you identify whether something falls within certain setbacks.The Basemaps is the same as it was before. I haven't gotten the Virginia Geographic Information Network imagery from 2017 and 2021 to successfully appear here, but you can find that in the map layers at the bottom.We have a lot of data layers! I currently have the default as every group expanded out, so you can scroll and see all the layers, but you can go through and click to collapse any groups you don't want expanded. Okay, the select tool is super cool, and lets you really dive into some fun GIS attribute querying! As an example, you can select all the FEMA Flood Zones that are AO, then select all the tax parcels that are affected by (intersect) those AO zones! These results can also be exported into an Excel table. A great deal of GIS analysis is possible just using Select by Attributes and Select by Location, so this tool really ramps up the power of the web map so it can do some of what the desktop GIS software can do!Continuing our tour of the tools, we come to the coordinates tool. This one also existed already in the sub-maps, but is now with all the layers. Unfortunately, the tool is a little annoying, and won't retain my defaults. You have to click the little plus sign target thing, then you can click on the map to get the coordinates. The coordinate system defaults to WGS 1984 Web Mercator (the same thing Google Maps uses), but much of our data uses NAD 1983 State Plane Virginia South, so you can click the dropdown arrow to the right to select either one. Exciting news related to this: in 2026 they are releasing the new coordinate system on which they've been working! It should make the data in GIS more closely align with features in reality, but you will not need to change any of the ways you interact with the data.The next tool is the Elevation Profile tool. It's very nifty! You can draw a profile to see how the elevation changes, and as you move your cursor along the graph, it shows where along your transect you are! It helps explain some of the floodplain and sea level rise boundaries.You know the measure tool well, but this one retains the defaults in feet and acres, which is very exciting! No more having to change the units every time you want to measure (unless you want other than feet and acres).The draw tool is our penultimate stop on the tour! It is largely the same as what currently exists on the public web map, so I shan't delve into it here. When you draw a feature now though, it appears in the layers tab (until you close the map), which can let you toggle the drawing on and off to work with what is beneath it. It can help as you plan in where you might want to put new constructions.The print tool is also largely the same, but I've been finding the tool in this new Experience Builder format is less buggy than the one in the retiring Web App Builder that made the current Public Web Map.
