Mr Whitaker might also have mentioned that the GIS maps, which he worked so hard to liberate for the public good, might also have played an effective emergency management role, if only they had been employed to communicate to the public.
However, even in that field the Town, with state backing (but not at FOI) refuses to release GIS data on sensitive terrorist targets like catch basins and culverts, making drainage analysis all the more difficult.
The thinking reflects that of Westchester County, which blots out Playland in Rye from the GIS images, due it its strategic security importance to the County, its owner.
