Why GIS matters
Weather, vegetation, infrastructure, outages, access, and critical services all occur in specific places. GIS connects those layers into an operational picture.
Source documentation
Open GIS sources used for utility intelligence context.
Open GIS sources help connect outage risk with locations, regions, infrastructure, terrain, access corridors, and public assets. GIS context is essential because utility risk is spatial.

How open GIS supports analysis
Open GIS can provide regional boundaries, roads, public facilities, infrastructure context, environmental layers, and spatial relationships that improve explainability.
Limits of open GIS
Open GIS is not a substitute for utility-owned asset systems. It is useful for public research, context, and decision-support prototypes.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions for operators and planners.
Why do AI outage models need GIS?
GIS helps models understand where weather, vegetation, infrastructure, and outage history overlap.
Can open GIS replace utility asset data?
No. Open GIS can support public analysis, but utility asset data is needed for production-grade operational decisions.
