• A. A process by which 9-1-1 calls are routed to the appropriate PSAP.
• B. Local Transport Area.
• C. A collection of hardware, software, people, procedures and data that tie together information displayed on a map to data stored in a database.
• D. A number assigned to call routing for 911.

Answer: (C)

GIS is the integrated system that brings together hardware, software, people, procedures, and data to link information shown on a map with data stored in a database. This combination lets 911 centers see where a call is occurring on a map and immediately access the related records and assets tied to that location, enabling accurate routing, situational awareness, and efficient response. The other options describe routing mechanisms or telecom concepts, not the geographic information system itself.
