911 Mapping for Stoddard County to Increase Accuracy in Emergencies

Stoddard County, MO 911 will be launching a Countywide GIS Remediation Project to update the 911 mapping to improve 911 services throughout the county and the State of Missouri. The project is funded by grants using federal ARPA funds.

The purpose of this project is to improve the accuracy of the county map and addressing data used by emergency responders. Doing this work is a requirement of the Missouri 911 Service Board so that our local mapping data can be used to route 911 calls more accurately.

Mapping engineers from Stoddard County’s 911 mapping contractor, SDR Inc., will be driving throughout the cities, towns and some recreational areas during daylight hours to verify locations. The 911 field vehicle will be clearly marked with white signs and “911 Mapping” in red letters.

The 911 field vehicle will stop in front of structures to observe, verify and document the posted address but will not knock on doors or conduct interviews with residents. If no address is posted or legible, the technician will mark the record for further investigation. They may leave the vehicle to verify the layout of apartment units in buildings, but will not trespass on private property.

The field work for this project is expected to be complete by the beginning of September, 2024.
