Quebec 9-1-1 Emergency Service Coverage Agreements

Administrative agreements detail how cities and regional county municipalities in Quebec are served by 9-1-1 emergency call centers. The data layers specify service via satellite phone for areas lacking cellular coverage and via cell phone within coverage zones of Rogers and Bell networks. Information is restricted for use by the Ministry of Public Safety and 9-1-1 centers.

Use Cases

• Map satellite phone service areas for 9-1-1 calls by intersecting municipal boundaries with the 'Serte Entente' layer.
• Analyze cellular 9-1-1 service coverage by overlaying municipal data with combined Rogers and Bell network layers.
• Identify gaps in emergency response infrastructure by comparing '9-1-1 Service (cellular coverage)' areas with satellite-dependent zones.
• Support infrastructure planning for the Ministry of Public Safety using the restricted Bell Mobile Coverage and Rogers mobile coverage layers.

Strengths

• Data is directly sourced from the Government and Municipalities of Québec, providing authoritative administrative records.
• Includes multiple geospatial data layers (SHP, GEOJSON) for technical analysis of service coverage.
• Specifically details coverage from two major telecom providers (Rogers and Bell) for the province.

Limitations

• Row and column counts are unknown, preventing assessment of dataset scale and feature completeness.
• Data access is restricted to the Ministry of Public Safety and 9-1-1 centers, limiting public usability.
• Relies on automated translation for metadata, which may introduce inaccuracies in field descriptions.
