The Virtual Earth platform can help all levels of government plan, predict, and respond quickly and efficiently, and build constituent connections by presenting data in a rich, intuitive interface. Virtual Earth can help enable your agency to visualise, understand, and interpret data in the context of its location and surroundings, and to ultimately act on that data in a more timely manner.

By leveraging the platform's powerful data visualisation capabilities, government organisations can use Virtual Earth as a foundation for building effective mapping solutions:

• Create disaster management solutions that allow federal, state, and local agencies to track disease outbreaks, weather events, and other incidents.
• Integrate multiple data sources to track and manage critical events, trends, and organisational resources to improve response times.
• Manage data streams using GeoRSS feeds to view a range of data sources, including census data or health information.
• Tighten mobile asset and personnel management by implementing data visualisation solutions that integrate with RFID tracking or GPS technology.
