Why Maps Matter: Turning Community Data Into Resilience Tools

Maps aren't just lines and dots. In the right hands, they're tools for resilience. In this episode of Igniting Change , we sit down with Nicole Siggins , researcher and civic technologist, to talk about the messy, human process of turning community data into tools that actually make a difference. Nicole shares lessons from years of work at the intersection of mapping, research, and civic infrastructure, where mentorship is scarce, partnerships can be tricky, and the stakes couldn't be higher.
