NFPA 951 Guide to Building and Utilizing Digital Information 2016 Edition This edition of NFPA 951, Guide to Building and Utilizing Digital Information, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Data Exchange for the Fire Service. It w
31、as issued by the Standards Council on November 14, 2015, with an effective date of December 4, 2015, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 951 was approved as an American National Standard on December 4, 2015. Origin and Development of NFPA 950 In 2007, at the recommendation of
32、the late Bill McCammon, NFPA Treasurer, a letter was advanced by the Metro Fire Chiefs Association (a joint section of the NFPA and the IAFC) and signed by six of the major international re service organizations, requesting that the NFPA Standards Council embark on an effort to develop a standard on
33、 “data exchange” for re departments. As described in the letter, the purpose of the new standard would be to enable a higher level of technology penetration in the re service to enhance data sharing and analytic capability. The issue was framed to support effective communication and information mana
34、gement on a routine basis and to enhance situational awareness before, during, and after disasters. This information exchange need was identied as particularly critical with respect to the following: (1) The ability to exchange geographic information between local systems and evolving regional and n
35、ational systems to support such functions as vulnerability/risk assessment and coordinated incident management (2) The requirements of evolving mutual aid and resource exchange programs (3) The requirements for participation in systems designed to monitor local, regional, and national preparedness l
36、evels during times of high risk (4) Fire and emergency service access to and utilization of critical infrastructure data collected and distributed through national systems The effort was initiated to enhance the analysis of organizations, promote exchange of concepts and data development, focus on G
37、IS systems efforts with an industry-wide perspective rather than a “one-off,” per-organization approach, and streamline and maintain comprehensive inducements to invest in data systems for the digital age. Solicitation of members was approved by the Standards Council, and subsequent industrywide res
38、ponse created the membership necessary to draft code-type and scope documents. Efforts by that group at the initial meeting, held at the IAFC headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia, resulted in the Standards Council creating a committee and approving efforts to create a standard on Fire Service Data Exch
39、ange (NFPA 950) in 2008. The new Technical Committee, Data Exchange for the Fire Service, met several times between November 2008 and February 2011 and produced a draft, approved by the Standards Council, to go out for public input in the Fall 2014 cycle. The 2015 edition of NFPA 950, Standard for D
40、ata Development and Exchange for the Fire Service, was its inaugural edition. NFPA 951, Guide to Building and Utilizing Digital Information, was developed as a companion piece to NFPA 950. NFPA 951 offers guidance to organizations in building NFPA 950compliant systems. This effort was undertaken in
41、tandem with NFPA 950 and developed concurrently, thus maintaining consistency throughout the documents. This rst edition of NFPA 951 is intended to be a building block for data integration in the re service.BUILDING AND UTILIZING DIGITAL INFORMATION 951-2 2016 Edition Technical Committee on Data Exc
