Wildfire GIS and Risk Assessment
Urban sprawl and residential population growth are common to many parts of the Western United States. Rapid subdivision growth combined with recreational property development on the urban wildland interface are increasing the wildfire risk in thousands of communities. Geodata Services, Inc., working with the Orton Family Foundation, have adapted one of the leading community planning GIS software tools to assist the National Firewise program in community risk assessment, evaluation and education.
Wildlife Habitat Registry
The wildlife conservation organizations and state and federal agencies annually conduct thousands of habitat improvement projects throughout the US. Often habitat projects are targeted at one species, though they may indirectly benefit multiple species or systems. This web mapping service, funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation documented projects of wildlife conservation groups and agencies and leverages limited resources and budgets by bringing partners together with other partners to cooperate in on-the-ground habitat improvement projects.
