Apply GIS to your environmental initiatives
Project planning always includes environmental review. Stakeholders must collaborate to ensure that reviews are conducted in a timely manner and with input from everyone. ArcGIS delivers a data-driven approach that gives your government staff detailed knowledge of a project's impacts, analyzes alternative scenarios, justifies strategies to reduce impacts, and empowers the community to provide local knowledge to inform results.
Understanding where green assets exist is foundational for all other environmental workflows. Delineate habitats and land use, quantify populations, predict species presence, and understand complex relationships and interactions. ArcGIS provides a geospatial infrastructure to inventory and manage biological data.
Not all communities experience environmental impacts equally. ArcGIS allows stakeholders to see where vulnerable populations exist, measure which communities are impacted, and understand how they are impacted. These same tools can also be used to then determine where to target projects that reduce existing and future environmental burdens.
Everyone must ensure that they do their part to maintain clean land, water, and air. With so many outlets for pollution, it can be difficult to understand where pollution exists and how to stop it. With ArcGIS, entities can streamline existing workflows; take advantage of Internet of Things (IoT) data to monitor pollutants; maintain compliance to environmental standards; and provide transparency to the public.
Reducing fuel for wildfires, treating invasive species, and maintaining ecological stability for populations or habitats requires understanding the landscape, prescribing management plans, and measuring outcomes. ArcGIS allows organizations to identify vulnerabilities to natural hazards, prioritize management activities, and quantify their success.
Many programs intend to target the communities that have the greatest needs, but getting the monies distributed equitably and efficiently can be a difficult challenge. ArcGIS can help program administrators communicate opportunities to communities, provide transparency on how funds are distributed, and easily report on their success.
Enable users to ingest data from Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, message brokers, or third-party APIs. ArcGIS Velocity can process, visualize, and analyze real-time data feeds; store those feeds as big data; and perform fast queries and analyses.
Combine demographic, lifestyle, business, and socioeconomic data with powerful analytics to generate understanding of your community, allocate resources equitably, enhance decisions for market planning, and evaluate site selection.
This focused, initiative-driven community engagement software as a service allows organizations to work with internal and external stakeholders, acquire and analyze input, track the progress of initiatives, and improve the outcomes for the community with accountability and transparency.
ArcGIS Field Maps is an all-in-one app that uses data-driven maps to help mobile workers perform data collection and editing, find assets and information, and report their real-time locations.
In addition to increased funding for existing programs, federal funding includes new programs to benefit the environment and, in many cases, expands eligibility to include nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and nonprofits in addition to federal, state, local, and tribal agencies.
This federal funding aims to reduce natural hazards, whether that's wildfire, drought, or flooding. Ensure that new infrastructure is resilient in the face of climate change.
This significant funding is for cleaning up pollution and preventing new pollutants from entering our air and water.
This program aims to preserve and restore habitats, improve community resilience, and provide access to the outdoors through nature-based solutions.
This funding is for reducing animal-vehicle collisions by developing wildlife crossings and improving passages in streams by removing barriers and improving culverts.
With new federal funding resources such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, communities can use GIS to ensure that projects are environmentally sustainable, equitable, and resilient.
The coastlines provide the ingredients for delicious recipes and protect us from flooding and coastal erosion. GIS can help preserve them.
The Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet's Division of Water used ArcGIS Hub to create an integrated report for the US Congress on the condition of water resources in the state.
Organizations and agencies can combine roadkill data and GIS analysis to know where collision-prevention projects will have the greatest impact.
Montana's Department of Natural Resources and Conservation employed maps and dashboards to add transparency to the distribution of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) stimulus funds.
GIS is empowering leaders in Kentucky to find safe, effective sites for new solar energy projects while protecting local communities and the environment.
A shared map enabled foresters and land managers to devise a collaborative and science-informed plan to reforest a California fire burn scar with the right mix of plants in the right places.
The South Carolina Natural Heritage Data program documents habitats and threatened species to safeguard the state's uniqueness.
