Building the SAMS-II

Statewide Addressing in the Mountain State

Kevin Kuhn – GISP WV GIS Technical CenterGIS Analyst / Instructor

A Collaboration between the WV Dept. Homeland Security and Emergency Management (WVDHSEM), WV GIS Technical Center at WVU and County Addressing Coordinators.

Original SAMS History

• SAMS Oracle / Web Platform implemented in 2003.• SAMS funded through Verizon WV Incentive Regulation Plan (IRP) with the West Virginia

Public Service Commission.• 2001 the Statewide Addressing and Mapping Board (WVSAMB) was established with the

passage of legislation introduced by the West Virginia E-911 Council, WV Senate Bill 460. Then, in 2007, House Bill 2525 was passed and the board received an additional three years to complete their work pursuant to the provisions of article ten, chapter four of the WV code.

• Since 2008 the West Virginia Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) has been the home of the statewide addressing and mapping project. The division plays a key role in the E-911 addressing and database development by providing vital resources and support to counties and municipalities through the production of cartographic output that supports additional field work and field edits.

SAMS – 1st Generation

• Why replace SAMS? • No Local Oracle dba Support• Costly Contract Support

• Could not import newly acquired aerial imagery!

• Ageing Hardware• Slow Performance• Incompatible Data Structures • Inefficient Workflow for ‘Offline’
