I'm not an expert, but I think it depends on where you live. Or at least it definitely did 20 years ago when I lived in an area without 911. It may be the case now that everyone has access to 911 somewhere, but they'll simply redirect your call to the appropriate local emergency service provider. I will go out on a limb and say that Canadian 911 services infrastructure lags behind that in America. I'm sure someone in the emergency field would know - we can all rest assured that is not me! edit: it looks like about 98% of Canadians are now covered by 911 services. But, as I said before, I'm sure a good portion of those services are acting remotely and would simply relay the call locally. ... View more

Just because I've been beckoned by Chris Donohue, GISP​, I'll add my largely uninformed two cents. I can't imagine that such a database exists for the public. If it did, any business could immediately call every resident. Also, I'm not sure if your plan is to automatically call or send texts, but for texts, at least, you do need prior consent from the recipient​ to conform with anti-spam laws, which means building your own database. edit: I suppose one way to get your phone numbers through somewhat icky backdoor methods would be to screen scrape a website like White Pages for Canada - 411.ca with your list of addresses, but make sure it doesn't violate their terms of service (which I'm sure it would). ...

Can you provide the line where you specify the workspace? On a side note, why does your code flipflop between 'arcpy' and 'gp'? Are they both pointing to arcpy? Have you tried this with the superior data access module SearchCursor? Here's how to post in code tags (it's a bit convoluted): Posting Code blocks in the new GeoNet rows = gp.SearchCursor(workspace + "\\parcels_ut_town_list.dbf") for row in rows:     town = row.town     # Create Output Directory     towndir = town.strip()       # Create Output Directory     gp.AddMessage("Processing" + " " + town)     print "Processing" + " " + town     gp.AddMessage("Creating Directory For" + " " + town)     print "creating outfolder for "+town      outfolder = gp.CreateFolder_management(workspace, towndir)               ##Sometimes quitting here     expression = "TOWN = " + "'" + town.strip() + "'"     parcels = outfolder + "\\parcels"+towndir+".kmz"     # Process: Make Feature Layer     print "making feature layer"                                                                          ##-And sometimes quitting around the next line-     arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(parcelsProject_shp, parcelsProject_Layer, expression, "", "FID FID VISIBLE NONE;TOWN TOWN VISIBLE NONE;COUNTY COUNTY VISIBLE NONE;GEOCODE GEOCODE VISIBLE NONE;STATE_ID STATE_ID VISIBLE NONE;MAP_BK_LOT MAP_BK_LOT VISIBLE NONE;PARENT PARENT VISIBLE NONE;PROP_LOC PROP_LOC VISIBLE NONE;PROPLOCNUM PROPLOCNUM VISIBLE NONE;TYPE TYPE VISIBLE NONE;FMUPDORG FMUPDORG VISIBLE NONE;FMUPDAT FMUPDAT VISIBLE NONE;FMSRCORG FMSRCORG VISIBLE NONE;Shape_STAr Shape_STAr VISIBLE NONE;Shape_STLe Shape_STLe VISIBLE NONE;Shape Shape VISIBLE NONE;Shape_ST_1 Shape_ST_1 HIDDEN NONE;Shape_ST_2 Shape_ST_2 HIDDEN NONE")     # Process: Layer To KML     gp.AddMessage("Converting town to KML")     print "Converting town to KML"     arcpy.LayerToKML_conversion(parcelsProject_Layer, parcels, "0", "false", parcelsProject_Layer, "1024", "96", "CLAMPED_TO_GROUND")     #Copy Metadata       gp.AddMessage("Copying parcels Metadata For" + " " + town)     print "Copying parcels Metadata For" + " " + town     shutil.copy(metat, outfolder + "\\" + "parcels.txt")     gp.AddMessage("Done Processing parcels For" + " " + town)     print "Done Processing parcels For" + " " + town      #Create The Zipfile     #gp.AddMessage(output + "\\Parcels_" + towndir)     zpfile = zipfile.ZipFile(output + "\\Parcels_" + towndir + ".zip", 'w')     zpfile.write(outfolder + "\\parcels"+towndir+".kmz", "Parcels_" + towndir + ".kmz", zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)     zpfile.write(outfolder + "\\parcels.txt", "Parcels_" + towndir + ".txt", zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)     zpfile.close()     #Delete Uncompressed Files     shutil.rmtree(outfolder)     gp.AddMessage("All Done Processing" + " " + town) del rows ...

The Feature to Polygon tool is where it's always been, AFAIK. Data Management -> Features Are you sure the difference isn't that you used to have ArcInfo (Advanced) licensing, and now do not? ... View more

The data type you use depends on what format you reasonably expect and require from your user. If you can rely on your user to type in or (copy and paste) a full polygon array, like: [[[6,5],[7,8],[8,7],[6,5]]] ...then you could simply use a string. Similarly, you could input a table of coordinates, or type and parse an input table like Luke mentions. If you go with the above array option, the following slightly modified script should work: import arcpy, ast array = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) # a simple string # A list of features and coordinate pairs feature_info = ast.literal_eval(array) # A list that will hold each of the Polygon objects features = [] for feature in feature_info:     # Create a Polygon object based on the array of points     # Append to the list of Polygon objects     features.append(         arcpy.Polygon(             arcpy.Array([arcpy.Point(*coords) for coords in feature]))) # Persist a copy of the Polyline objects using CopyFeatures arcpy.CopyFeatures_management(features, r"C:\junk\poly.shp") ...

Feature templates store default symbology and attributes, but not geometry. As Joe indicates, copying and pasting in an edit session would be the fastest way to duplicate geometry. ... View more
