The Rescue Boundary is a representation of the geographic extent of each rescue service area in North Dakota as reported and defined by local jurisdictions 9-1-1 Coordinator. The layer is represented by Polygon geometry and is used for determining which rescue service is associated with a 9-1-1 incident location. This dataset is under continuous development as the 53 counties transition to Enhanced 9-1-1 / Next Generation 9-1-1 as the project is still on going and therefore this data is preliminary.

North Dakota Dept. Of Emergency Services provides GIS maintenance and aggregation services for most of the counties in the State of North Dakota. However, it is the responsibility of the local County and or Tribal 9-1-1 Coordinators to dictate updates. The public should contact their local 9-1-1 coordinator for any questions related to the boundaries.
