The Oklahoma Next Generation 9-1-1 GIS Toolkit is a collection of GIS data toolsets developed to enable local, county, and state GIS stakeholders throughout Oklahoma to prepare, compare, validate, adjust, and submit locally managed GIS data to a statewide repository in compliance with Oklahoma’s Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) data standards.

NG9-1-1 Standard
----------------

NG9-1-1 relies on accurate, standards-based GIS data for location accuracy and call routing. *The State of Oklahoma Geographic Information NG911 and Addressing Standard*, `available here <https://okmaps.onenet.net/address_standards.htm>`_, defines the required structure and content for all GIS data used in 9-1-1 systems. It aligns with NENA NG9-1-1 standards and ensures data consistency across jurisdictions.

All GIS data used in NG9-1-1 must meet these standards.

State of Oklahoma NG9-1-1/GIS Repository
----------------------------------------

The State of Oklahoma NG9-1-1/GIS Repository aggregates data from local GIS authorities into a single, statewide dataset that supports the Emergency Services IP Network (ESInet). The Toolkit enables local and state partners to edit, validate, and submit NG9-1-1 GIS data, ensuring reliable and synchronized information statewide.
