The town of Angat in the Philippines has struggled with problems like taxation, business permits, planning, disaster preparedness, and environmental monitoring. To solve these issues, the Angat local government teamed up with RASA Surveying and SuperMap to create the “Smart Angat” system. This system uses GIS technology to bring together different types of data, making it easier for the government to make better decisions. The Smart Angat project will help improve how the town manages its resources, plans for the future, and provides services to its people.
