Kentucky 811 understands how important of a role up-to-date member notification areas and base maps play in keeping our state’s underground infrastructure safe from excavation-related damages. Because of this, we’ve worked with One Call Concepts (OCC) to make the process for updating both notification area polygons and base maps easier than ever before.

Update notification areas directly with IMAP

Update notification areas by providing shape files
In addition to IMAP, you can also opt to send buffered polygons around your facilities in shape file format (.shp) to . In your email, please include your state, district code, and whether the polygons should replace an existing notification area or if they are new additions. After the polygons have been processed, they will be uploaded to IMAP for your verification and approval.
