Take a geographic approach to protect our environment and natural resources.
Balance growth and environmental protections by streamlining permitting processes while safeguarding the environment.
Environmental agencies can promote compliance by streamlining business processes. With GIS, staff can conduct paperless permitting inspections offline, monitor assets remotely in real time, assess the status of processes, and automate tasks.
With GIS, environmental agencies can analyze when, where, and how environmental burdens occur. Location-based technology and mapping tools allow this information to be combined with demographic data to show disproportionate impacts on communities, promote environmental equity, and engage the public on these important topics.
Environmental agencies can use GIS to communicate dynamic environmental policies and permitting requirements no matter where a project is located. Agencies can use and share tools to assist project planners, consultants, and others to collect and analyze data, apply for permits, ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and conduct follow-up inspections in the field.
Environmental agencies use real-time apps and dashboards to easily understand critical information about environmental quality, such as air and water quality. Using GIS to explore complex datasets allows agencies to easily uncover significant patterns, trends, correlations, and relationships.
