An
Open California:
Geospatial technologies
offer government agencies powerful tools for sharing information
-- both with the public and among government organizations.
Much government data has a geospatial component to it, and providing
public access to this information serves as a democratizing
force.
Government entities across California
are using geospatial applications to publish data out to the
public, helping citizens understand and visualize information
using free tools with which they are already familiar. For instance,
in response to last year's California wildfires, geospatial
technologies like Google Maps and Google Earth were used by
government agencies and the media to give citizens up-to-the
minute information. San Bernadino County is a leading example
of regional government making data and imagery available to
the public to improve services for citizens and organizations
doing business with the county.
Furthermore, the power of geospatial
technologies can open up new channels of communications among
government entities. GIS facilitates inter-governmental information
sharing initiatives such as Virtual Alabama and the US Forest
Service's "Automated Flight Following" project for
coordinating fighting forest fires. Learn about all these examples
and more in this session on "An Open California."
