CNS project

Data acquisition and operational architecture

Page 2

CNS proposed architecture Use internal software to manage the 911

phone number database. Use in-house phone capabilities to issue

the CNS calls (PRI lines). Utilize GIS functionalities to validate

address structure found in the 911 phone number database by creating aliases.

Providing strict guidelines and user profiles for CNS services.

Type of emergencies to use CNS

Any situation that may effect the life, the security or the health of Gatineau’s population. Storms Chemical plume / contamination Water related hazard Extreme weathers (cold or hot) Epidemic / Pandemic Other life or health threatening situations Other security measures

CNS – Step 1Reception / Validation of 911 database

First time Reception of database estimated to more than

120 000 numbers for Gatineau from 3 sources (Bell / Videotron / Rogers) but mainly from Bell. Phone number and address is sufficient.

Validation of address structure and creation of aliases.

GIS geo-positioning on the addresson the address and not the X-Y coordinates provided by some carriers.

Addition to 911 database (Street number). Creation of a new GIS layer for the phone

numbers.

CNS – Step 1Reception / Validation of 911 database

Database update Reception of new, modified or deleted

numbers from the 3 same sources on a daily or weekly basis.

Automated mechanism for validation of address structure and creation of aliases.

Automated GIS geo-positioning Automated addition to database (Street

number) Adding the numbers to the GIS layer

CNS – Step 2Extraction and messaging

Defining the sector Extracting the numbers from the

GIS layer. Issuing a phone list Creating a message Include the message to the list Generate de CNS calls (locally or

remotely).

NoteNote

Cities are the only governing bodies for issuing and naming streets.

We have to cleanse the 911 database each time data is downloaded before it can be use in a CNS system with GIS address positioning. Therefore we request that the 911 database (addresses and numbers only) be maintained locally in our GIS system.

Results

After calls are issued, a detailed and statistical report are generated for every CNS.

By providing the 911 database on a regular basis without the names, we believe that the confidentiality issue is addressed.
