GIS Mapping
Discover the power of Geographic Information System (GIS), an advanced digital mapping and analytics tool that supports various aspects of City management.
Equipped with cutting-edge satellite imagery, remote sensors, and aerial photography, the GIS system enables the City’s team to create a multitude of valuable maps for urban planning, emergency response, utility management, and public access to parks and facilities. These maps serve as essential resources for both City staff and residents alike.
For example, during severe weather events, the city leverages GIS technology to provide live-updated maps showing road closures and available resources. Internally, staff uses GIS mapping to track water usage, monitor emergency response times, and identify trends or issues more efficiently.
