This document summarizes geospatial initiatives happening at both the national and state levels that are relevant to Wisconsin. It discusses topics such as imagery collection, emergency management, transportation mapping, and national geospatial data programs. Specific initiatives mentioned include the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP), efforts to build out address data and transportation networks, and state programs in Indiana, Utah and South Carolina to create statewide geospatial databases. The document also outlines the National States Geographic Information Council's advocacy agenda around issues like national address data, governance of spatial data infrastructure, and using new technologies to improve government.
