Miami-Dade County has selected Woolpert as the GIS services provider for the Next Generation 911 (NG911) emergency management routing system. This partnership aims to improve response times for dispatchers and first responders, enhancing public safety in the region.

Woolpert will be responsible for identifying, collecting, and digitizing critical information necessary for the NG911 system's functionality. This includes addressing gaps in existing, newly constructed, and planned locations, as well as unique sites that require specialized routing.

The project manager, Yaneev Golombek, emphasized the importance of Woolpert's hybrid approach, which combines in-office processing and fieldwork to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data used by emergency management services.

Furthermore, Woolpert will provide training to facilitate the inputting of future data into the system, ensuring that new roads and addresses are readily available for emergency vehicle routing as soon as they are open for traffic or occupied.

The partnership between Miami-Dade County and Woolpert signifies a new era in public safety, ensuring that accurate and reliable information will be readily available for swift emergency responses.
