I work at the intersection of geospatial and emergency operations. This is pretty small in reach, but I found out recently that my re-mapping, re-griding, and so forth of a large local park may have played a significant role in locating someone who had suffered a cardiac arrest. The EMT arrival was quite prompt whereas before there would have been tens of minutes of floundering just locating him.

I feel good about that.
