DEPARTMENTS USING THE E911 BASEMAP
WHEREAS, the State of Idaho requires each Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
maintain emergency communications (E-911) databases;
WHEREAS, one of the E-911 databases maintained by the Elmore County PSAP is the

WHEREAS, it is possible for various departments who have access to E-911 BASEMAP

BASEMAP, including, but not limited to street names;
WHEREAS, if a county department alters or modifies the E-911 BASEMAP, the

submitted to and acted on by the authorized user; (b) the E-911 Coordinator or

following terms.
1. All changes or modifications to the E-911 BASEMAP must be submitted in
