4th Facility Operator Action Required: Obtain New Member ID and Verify Your Notification Areas
Hello Minnesota Facility Operators!
This communication contains 2 critical actions that must be performed by every facility operator in the state to verify the accuracy of your notification area maps maintained at GSOC. Failure to verify your notification areas may result in facility damages and missed tickets.
Action 1: Obtain Member ID
Each facility operator is receiving a new Member ID from Gopher State One Call. This Member ID will be used as your login to the new MSAM notification area mapping site.
Retrieve/Search for Your New Member ID Here
Action 2: Check Notification Areas
Once you have obtained your new Member ID, use the Member ID to login to MSAM (the new notification area mapping site) and make sure your notification areas are accurate. Even if you do not plan on making mapping changes through this tool in the future, each facility operator needs to verify that their notification areas are correctly displayed.
The notification areas in MSAM will be used to generate tickets on January 1, 2011 and beyond. In the event an error occurred in the data conversion from our old mapping site to the new MSAM site, we need to be notified immediately so we can correct the error. If the notification areas are not 100% accurate, your facilities are at risk and damages can occur. It is critical that every facility operator in the state logs in to MSAM and checks to make sure their notification areas are accurate in the new mapping system.
Things to check for include:
• Are the overall boundaries accurate?
• Do they line up with the correct streets, landmarks, etc.?
• Are any notification areas or Member Codes missing?
Please view the training video that demonstrates how to review notification areas, at the following link:

After watching the training video, click the link (located on the training video site) to access MSAM. Once you have reached the MSAM site, login with your Member ID number as your Member ID, and type in password for your password. You will then review your notification areas, and contact the GSOC Transition Hotline if any changes are necessary.
If any part of your notification area does not look accurate, please contact the GSOC Transition Hotline immediately at 952-697-4299 or gsoctransition@korterra.com.
If you have any questions on how to verify your notification area in MSAM, please contact the GSOC Transition Hotline at 952-697-4299 or gsoctransition@korterra.com.
Thank you, Minnesota facility operators, for all of your hard work in keeping Minnesota safe!
