Slide 2
No 9-1-1 Presently, there is no dedicated or Basic 9-1-1 system
on the Navajo Nation. There is only call forwarding which means
your call is NOT priority and it continues to sit in queue until
someone at the Police Department answers it. Partnership to Rural
Addressing Summit, 7/24/13
Slide 3
continue Currently, all 9-1-1 calls when dialed will get
answered by an outside Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
facilities particularly the surrounding Counties and/or border
towns. These calls will generally get forward back to the Navajo
Nation Police Districts. Partnership to Rural Addressing Summit,

Slide 4
continue As a result, frustration, more time, and confusion
will be placed on our emergency responders Then criticism for their
slow response time, so how do you find a needle in a haystack?

Navajo Nation & Rural Addressing Currently, there is only
one Navajo Nation Chapter that is actively 9-1-1 Enhanced. That is
Tohajiilee Chapter and they are being serviced with the Bernalillo
County PSAP. In 2006, a Pilot Project between the former Navajo
Nation E9-1-1 office, Bernalillo Countys PSAP, and Spatial Data
Research (SDR) performed rural addressing efforts. Partnership to

What is a 9-1-1 Address? A 9-1-1 address contains a unique
number, name of street, city, state, and zip. Which is typically a
physical or shipping address. Partnership to Rural Addressing
Summit, 7/24/13 Rural addressing or house numbering is a system of
giving a unique number to a structure on a street or area, with the
intention of making it easier to locate a particular structure;
therefore, rural addressing must be completed first in order to
Enhance 9-1-1.
Slide 9
How does an address relate to 9-1-1? In an emergency, when the
call-takers or dispatcher receives a 9-1-1 call, they need to be
able to locate the Person Reporting (PR), so they can guide the
emergency responders to that location. Rural addressing is a
prerequisite to E 9-1-1. Partnership to Rural Addressing Summit,

What is Rural Addressing? A collection of information necessary
for enabling Enhanced 9-1-1 or E9-1-1 A collection of information
necessary for enabling Enhanced 9-1-1 or E9-1-1 It is the physical
location of an addressable structure, e.g., house, business,
Government facility, etc. It is the physical location of an
addressable structure, e.g., house, business, Government facility,
etc. When the lat/long coordinates of the physical address are
known and 9-1-1 is dialed, an Automatic Location Identifier (ALI)
lets the call taker/dispatcher know where the location of the call
is coming from. When the lat/long coordinates of the physical
address are known and 9-1-1 is dialed, an Automatic Location
Identifier (ALI) lets the call taker/dispatcher know where the
location of the call is coming from.

Slide 18
Why do I Need an Address? Because Emergency Responders need to
be able to locate the PR of an emergency Because Emergency
Responders need to be able to locate the PR of an emergency The
9-1-1 dispatcher/call-taker has a visual computer map display of
the origin of the call to guide the responders to the emergency
location The 9-1-1 dispatcher/call-taker has a visual computer map
display of the origin of the call to guide the responders to the
emergency location The address is linked to a unique record in the
ALI databases so the location information is available to the
dispatcher/call taker The address is linked to a unique record in
the ALI databases so the location information is available to the

Slide 19
Partnership to Rural Addressing Summit, 7/24/13 What Do
Addresses Do? Addresses help people navigate through urban and
rural environments because they provide highly visible guides, such
as street name signs and posted numbers Addresses help people
navigate through urban and rural environments because they provide
highly visible guides, such as street name signs and posted numbers
An address is a common geospatial aid to navigation and most
commonly used identifier of places for most people An address is a
common geospatial aid to navigation and most commonly used
identifier of places for most people An address can be use as a
shipping address by all parcel couriers An address can be use as a
shipping address by all parcel couriers
Slide 20
Partnership to Rural Addressing Summit, 7/24/13 How Should I
Display my 9-1-1 Address? Road signs should be posted on the right
hand side of each road and driveway Road signs should be posted on
the right hand side of each road and driveway Currently, Navajo
Nation Rural Addressing Standards has been finalized and
implemented Currently, Navajo Nation Rural Addressing Standards has
been finalized and implemented Upon the finalization, the physical
addresses within the Navajo Nation communities should be displayed
accordingly. Upon the finalization, the physical addresses within
the Navajo Nation communities should be displayed accordingly.

Slide 22
How Will My Address Be Created? Creation of an address is based
of geographical location determined by Global Positioning Systems
(GPS) coordinates. Creation of an address is based of geographical
location determined by Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
coordinates. GPS can point locations of houses and create polylines
for roads and driveways leading to residents GPS can point
locations of houses and create polylines for roads and driveways
leading to residents If there are multiple driveways, a GPS point
is taken from the main dwelling with an existing landline

Slide 23
Partnership to Rural Addressing Summit, 7/24/13 Equal Interval
Addressing The NNAA will utilize this addressing method because of
irregular reservation roads It is sometimes called the mile marker
method and most used in the rural New Mexico environments Every
road begins with 1 and increments at a standard interval per mile
of roadway There will be 100 potential addresses with a mile
stretch; 50 on both sides of the road; left side odd and right side
even numbers

Partnership to Rural Addressing Summit, 7/24/13 Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) After GPS data is collected, e.g., road
centerlines, house dwellings, proposed sign locations, the geo-
spatial coordinates generated by the GPS (UTM, Latitude and
Longitude) can be downloaded into a GIS software to be used to
create addressing. With GIS, creation of databases for PSAPs and
telephone companies to be used in Enhanced 9-1-1 system

Addresses? Depending on the Centerline Data availability, NNAA will
be assigning the addressing structure signs with the assistance of
an ArcGIS Extension called Address-It Depending on the Centerline

your community Our office will be responsible for assigning

Slide 28
Partnership to Rural Addressing Summit, 7/24/13 Maintaining an
Addressing System Rural Addressing is not a one time project
Addressing is a continuous process by updating and adding new
addresses All new addresses must be GPSed, added to GIS databases,
synchronized with MSAG/ALI databases, have road signs installed,
and be photographed
Slide 29
Partnership with Apache County When addresses are completed,
voters may register their new physical address to satisfy the HAVA
with Apache County Response times from Apache County Emergency
responders will respond at a faster time. Business will flow
