For a lot of years the questions I answered were: ' Where is the person who is dialing 9-1-1, followed by Who am I going to dispatch there, and how will the unit(s) get there?'

For a few weeks this past March and early April: 'Where is your house and how much damage did it sustain in the earthquake?'

A few odds and ends include: 'Which parcel is assigned what address?' 'Is the bus stop close to the senior center?' 'How many business licenses were issued in a particular metro-township this month?  Building permits? Code Enforcement infractions?'

I'll finish my first cup of coffee and remember several more, I'm sure...
