Emergency Communications


Frequently Asked Questions
|
Why
did my address change? |
- There are a multitude of reasons that your address may
change, but all of those reasons ultimately lead to ensuring
Public Safety. PBRPC has been designated by the Commission
on State Emergency Communications (CSEC) as the 9-1-1 addressing
authority for the Permian Basin Region, with the exception
of Ector, Midland and Howard. Our subject matter experts
review GIS data to provide a consistent addressing standard,
which includes the numerical prefixes and roadway names.
Historically, there were no addressing standards so occasionally
established addresses must be changed to correlate with
the improved model so that in the event of an emergency
responders can reference surrounding markers to identify
what the location of the emergency is.
- You may be told that your address will require a Private
Road label. If your driveway is .10 mile long or more, and/or
there are two or more structures sharing the driveway, it
qualifies as a Private Road and must be approved by the
Precincts County Commissioner. Commissioner's Court
occurs usually each month and a member of the PBRPC 9-1-1
addressing staff will have to review all requests prior
to approval.

Why
are UPS, USPS, and FedEx not delivering to my house? |
- PBRPC sends data updates to the Regional Postmaster, which
includes address changes or additions. However, mail services
such as UPS, USPS, and FedEx are responsible for contacting
the Regional Postmaster to retrieve updated or new data.
If you have additional questions, please contact the customer
service department of the UPS, USPS or FedEx.
|
Why
cant I find my address on Google or a commercial GPS device? |
- PBRPC has current GIS data readily available for these
companies to retrieve, free of charge. It is the responsibility
of these entities to update their database with our current
data. If you have additional questions, please contact the
customer service department of Google or corresponding agency.
