<BOL>Clark County Map Disclaimer:</BOL>
These maps were developed and produced by Clark County 911
GIS. They are provided for reference only and are not intended to
show map scale accuracy or all inclusive map features. The base
map data was developed by Clark County 911 from multiple
sources. The imagery is 2005 Indiana Orthophotography
(IndianaMap Framework Date www.indianamap.org) As indicated,
the accuracy of the map has not been verified and it should be
used for informational purposes only. Any possible discrepancies
should be brought to the attention of Clark County 911 GIS.

"IMPORTANT: This map was published in 2006 by ACME Map company. Like all maps, it is subject to potential errors and frequent changes. If you know of a mistake on the map please add a numbered push pin to the area in question and a note on the clipboard on the side."
This would allow the drivers and dispatch to note when a street changes direction or has been dead-ended, etc.
(note: I used to work on an ambulance in Brooklyn--I get the issue).
What is the disclaimer typing to protect you from? From being the person who put up the map or from being from the map company?
When someone goes to some of our more tricky categories we give a disclaimer/reminder (aka obvious statement for those few who don't understand how the internet works at this point) that says:

Printing large maps for local 911 center, need a good disclaimer on the map, any suggestions?
Ok, I apologize about the vagueness of the Question. I needed it to say that the maps are provided "AS-IS" without any warranties and not to be relied on in an emergency situation. I was looking for suggestions not “professional advice” (I believe I asked for suggestions in the question not an actual legal disclaimer), I can seek out “professional advice” once I figure out what all I would like it to convey. But if someone would like to provide an example that would be great.

UPDATE: If your goal is to disclaim the accuracy of this map I think a big note up top that says: "IMPORTANT: This map was published in 2006 by ACME Map company. Like all maps, it is subject to potential errors and frequent changes. If you know of a mistake on the map please add a numbered push pin to the area in question and a note on the clipboard on the side."
This would allow the drivers and dispatch to note when a street changes direction or has been dead-ended, etc.
