Home » Techarrette Overview » Use Cases
Having a city-wide, accurate assessment of property condition is a foundational data set for climate change resiliency.
If the data is collected with geospatial integrity, it can be integrated into municipal enterprise data systems to provide a more complete picture of rebuilding activity.
Characteristics of properties could be used to inform other use cases.
For example, firefighters could use data on whether a property’s use is commercial or private for conducting safety inspections of commercial properties.
The City could use that data to verify if properties are being taxed at the right level (commercial taxes are higher).
Hazard mitigation experts could use data on building height (slab-on-grade, raised a little, raised a lot) to assess residual risk for hurricane flooding, which could inform zoning or hazard mitigation assistance.
