Geospatial Information Act

The Geospatial Information Act is a law that governs how geographic data—like maps and location-based information—is collected, shared, and used by government agencies and organizations. Its goal is to ensure that geospatial data is accurate, consistent, and accessible, promoting efficient decision-making and public safety. The Act establishes guidelines for managing sensitive location information to protect privacy and security, while encouraging collaboration across agencies and with the private sector. Overall, it helps create a coordinated framework for leveraging geographic data to improve government operations, disaster response, infrastructure planning, and various other applications.
