Update: 2022-04-11

Description

In this episode, we talk with Tina Mathieu, the Executive Director of the
Weber Area Dispatch 911 & Emergency Services District.

Tina explains why GIS data is so critical in Next-Generation 911 systems and how local and state agencies work together to make this happen.

Tina also walks us through a typical 911 call, from a call being placed to the routing of the call, and then to the actual dispatch and emergency response.
