Geographic Information Services
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are an essential tool used by our municipality to collect, manage, analyze, and visualize geographic data. This advanced technology allows us to create detailed maps, perform spatial analysis, and manage geospatial databases. By utilizing GIS, we can make informed decisions that enhance urban planning, improve transportation systems, support emergency response efforts, and ensure efficient delivery of municipal services. Essentially, GIS helps us understand and utilize the geographic information of our community, making our city a better place to live and work.
