GIS supports the Department of Public Safety by developing the information that is used in dispatch of emergency services. GIS has also supported Planning with development of a zoning layer to better manage the growth within the county. Planning also uses GIS to support economic development, recreation, and farmland preservation. Vector Control uses GIS to administer the West Nile and Gypsy Moth programs in conjunction with the state. Conservation District uses GIS to support the Chesapeake Bay program, soil erosion control, and storm water management. Finally, Tax Assessment uses GIS to maintain a visual record of the tax base of the county.
