The State of Vermont Enhanced 9-1-1 Board has implemented enhanced 9-1-1 dispatch services for the entire state. The E9-1-1 Board hired microDATA (St. Johnsbury, VT) to develop a "Master Street Address Guide" (MSAG) and other associated geographic data layers (GIS data). Historically, most residents in Vermont had rural-route boxes (ex: RR 1 Box 328). This addressing system works well for local mail delivery, but does not provide an "emergency provider" with information about the location of an incedent. As a result, the E9-1-1 Board's initiative assisted towns in the development of "locatable" addresses. This included assigning roads "official" road names and then assigning new addresses to existing sites (residences).

VCGI has assisted the Enhanced 9-1-1 Board in several ways. Technical assistance in the development of RFPs, development of E9-1-1 standards, and quality control of data delivered by contractors. The data developed by the E9-1-1 project is available to the public through VCGI. However, VCGI will not retain or distribute confidential information.

VCGI will continue to assist the E9-1-1 Board in the development of long-term data maintenance strategies and policies.
