MSAG Verification
Master Street Address Guide
The creation of a complete MSAG is critical for the successful
implementation of an enhanced 911 system. ERM creates
this Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) from the base data. Before the database
is given to the telephone company, each street address and road segment must be
verified against the final MSAG to ensure 100% completion.
Master Street Address Guide
(MSAG) Services
Since 2000, ERM has been
aiding local government in the conversion of rural route addressing to street addresses
suitable for Enhanced 911. Our process has proven to be effective and efficient.
One of the most important features that make our MSAG services stand out from our
competition, is that our service does not end with the successful conversion of addresses.
We continue to aid the county or municipality with the ever-changing needs of
enhanced
911. Populating databases for CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch), creating custom reports
for county officials, and creating custom maps are just a few ways that ERM continues to service its clients.
Address Conversion
There are two basic addressing systems that are used to address a jurisdiction:
Mile marker system
Grid addressing scheme
Address Data
Each road segment has its name, route number, and address range as attributes
Along that road, each addressable structure is located as a corresponding point feature
The combination of roads and address points provide an ideal starting point for
all GIS (Geographic Information Systems) that the county will need in the future
