A practical walkthrough of vertical location in NG911: what Z‑Axis measures, how to translate altitude to a floor number, and why confidence and presentation matter. We cover building‑sourced GIS layers, active NENA guidance, and a checklist for enterprises to prepare data now.

Key topics in this episode:

  • X/Y vs Z: the high‑rise gap
  • Device altitude, ground reference, average floor height
  • Confidence, policy, and training for call takers
  • NG911 as GIS data, not just multimedia
  • An Enterprise checklist for GIS readiness
  • Share this episode with your team and ask your building management what data exists today. Start a conversation with your PSAP/ECC about GIS layers and life‑safety assets.
