NENA Standards, Requirements and Informational Documents

To join an active NENA Working Group that develops GIS standards and documents, refer to one of the following oversight committees to join (note that you do not need to be a NENA member):

Data Structures Committee

  • NG9-1-1 Data Flow
  • Schema Development
  • GIS Data Model for NG9-1-1

  • Class of Service (COS

Data Management Committee
