N.C. Geographic Information Coordinating Council

The North Carolina GIS Conference continues its tradition of excellence as one of the largest state GIS conferences in the nation. This virtual event will be held February 16-19, 2021.

The North Carolina Geographic Information Coordinating Council (GICC) promotes geographic information system (GIS) technology for the state and demonstrates the value of reliable geographic information for effective decision making.

The GICC’s Working Group for Enhanced Emergency Response was formed to identify opportunities for enhanced collaboration and avoid duplication of effort before, during, and after emergency events.

During the 2020 Orthoimagery Project, the fourth band, or color infrared band, will be included as a deliverable product. This will add value to the primary business uses outlined within the GICC’s Business Plan for Orthoimagery in North Carolina.

Aligning with GICC’s priorities, NC OneMap provides comprehensive discovery and access to North Carolina’s statewide geospatial data resources. One of the most widely used statewide layers, NC Parcels, received updates from all 100 counties in 2019.
