Background & Overview Report Tony Spicci NGAC Meeting April 2, 2014 NATIONAL ADDRESS DATABASE
Products & Activities • The NGAC developed a paper in 2012 assessing the need for the development of a National Address Database (NAD). The paper strongly supported the development of a NAD. • The NGAC passed a resolution in September 2013 reiterating this support and encouraging the FGDC to develop a funding strategy to implement a NAD.
Continuing Activities • NGAC has been working with NSGIC, NENA and NACo to identify compelling use cases for a NAD. • NGAC has encouraged inclusion of Addresses into the A-16 framework and identification of opportunities and constraints for multi-agency development of a NAD.
Key Findings/Learnings • There is: • no clear A-16 responsibility for addresses • a need to have addresses be part of the NSDI • no clear delineation of responsibility for creating a NAD • a need to facilitate and enable cross agency projects • FEMA has a need for correct addresses to save lives and money (recent RFI) • The NGAC Address paper identifies the need for a NAD
Possible Next Steps • Continue to develop compelling uses cases describing the need for a National Address Database • Encourage agencies to: • Propose an adjustment to the A-16 schema • Incorporate aspects of addresses into the A-16 schema & develop a NAD • Explore ways to facilitate and enable agencies to conduct cross-agency projects
2014 Guidance National Address Database • The NGAC has provided very helpful advice and recommendations on the potential development of a National Address Database. • The NGAC is requested to provide ongoing input on this effort, including the following: • Identify compelling use cases demonstrating the value and utility of a National Address Database. • Describe the potential relationship between a National Address Database and National Parcel Data and identify possible opportunities to coordinate and leverage the two efforts.
