United States Addresses and Procedures

[moreorless]

Hi! Like a couple of other users have recently posted regarding other countries, I’m curious about the current status of the United States address databases and any related policy/procedure changes that would allow for a realistic or semi-realistic representation of US-based PSAPs dispatching for fire and EMS.

I’m currently a real-world 911 call taker and dispatcher in America, dispatching on a county level for Police, Fire, and EMS agencies, as well as a Volunteer Firefighter and part-time paid EMT. If there are plans to allow for representation of the US Fire/EMS system as compared to the German one, I’d love to be a primary source for the team and share any relevant information I can provide, as well as create centers for the game based on my local area.

My main question is, what kind of timeline can I expect before US addresses are brought into the game? If anyone is able to share. If the team is looking for sources, addressing data is often publicly available from county GIS teams.

I’m not sure if you’ve sent the message yet, but I’m having trouble finding my private messages on this forum. I couldn’t find a location for them anywhere after a few minutes of searching. Feel free to email me, or if there is another preferred method of communication, let me know! I don’t check my email super often, so I would prefer another method if it is available. I look forward to hearing from you and would be glad to help. And I appreciate the quick response! That is amazing to see these days.
