Action: How GIS Can Help Gov Identify, Discover and Decide

The federal government is increasingly adopting best practices for earth observation and imagery workflows to improve service delivery and support the administration's goals and other federal initiatives such as:

  • Optimizing infrastructure investment.
  • Enhancing safety and security.
  • Identifying change in natural and built environments. 
  • Creating more efficient land planning workflows.

Agencies are now realizing measurable benefits from new sensors, such as small satellites, drones, and lidar, to streamline workflows for evidence-based decision-making.
