We have also introduced new mapping tools to better assist when searching areas where children go missing.
The system allows us to search by address, place name, or latitude and longitude, then compare multiple imagery sources side by side.
It includes Google satellite imagery, Esri World Imagery, Esri Clarity, OpenStreetMap, USGS imagery for U.S. based aerial views, OpenTopoMap for terrain context, and NASA MODIS for broader cloud and weather patterns.
These tools help us look at nearby roads, wooded areas, ponds, rivers, drainage areas, trails, fields, terrain changes, and other location based risk factors more quickly when every minute matters.
