A GIS, Geographic Information Systems, provides communities with the ability to instantly find answers about the area in which they live. Questions such as, What School District will my child be in, Where is the nearest day care facility, library or post office, Where is the nearest park, Am I located in the Flood Hazard Area, etc can be answered with GIS. Through GIS, residents can become more involved, better informed and, without a doubt, be able to make better decisions for their community.
