911 is a national reference book of the resources in emergency management, social services and government. 911 covers a 15 state area representing about 100 million persons. Lets briefly review why this publication exist and how it could be used locally:

1. Governments, organizations, and others attempting to offer assistance after a major disaster who are not from your state need to have an exact knowledge who to contact.

2. Potential resources also need to know where your community exist in relation to existing highway systems, a little basic geography and other facts.

3. If FEMA declares your community a, "federal disaster area" and gives you permission to seek assistance out of state it is important for your community to have an existing knowledge of where "out of state" resources exist.
4. Many of the computer files of the reference book could be used to form evacuation or eggress routes into or out of your community.

As a computerized reference book, 911 is divided into chapters which are represented by computer files. As of August 18th, 1995, 911 has 79 files which occupy 2,675,680 Computer Bytes and print at about 2,500 pages. The contents of each file is explained in a file index as to content and page location. Files are arranged geographically along major interstate highway systems with counties and cities located by mile marker to correspond to line of travel.

911 makes it easy to locate local government, emergency management contacts, social services, hospitals,geographic features, intersecting highways, and possible hazards. Also encoded into the files are correspondence from private concerns, government officials, national news articles, and other testimonials. 911 and other CHAPS directories also have 2 citations by Library of Congress.
