Almost everything we do involves geographic information. Geography touches our lives in so many ways, we may not consciously think about the power geography has in our lives. Geographic information systems (GISs) let you harness the power of geography and integrate GIS with other technologies to save lives through improved emergency response or improve the quality of life by creating more livable cities. Using the power of geography helps businesses find the best locations, target their best customers, and deliver goods and services efficiently. Whether protecting the environment or designing and managing infrastructure, GIS helps promote a better future for all of us.

Tell us how your organization has used the power of geography. Send us ideas for stories about your use of GIS to solve problems more quickly, provide services not previously possible, cut costs, or improve the efficiency of operations. Story ideas can be E-mailed to arcuser_editor@esri.com, faxed to 909-307-3051, or mailed to
