With funds from the NH Endowment for Health and the NH Charitable Foundation, UNH Cooperative Extension collaborated with UNH's Complex Systems Research Center and Research Computing to develop a GIS-based repository for community assets, known as CAP-Map. CAP-Map is a web-based system to help communities, organizations and agencies in New Hampshire share information with the public (and each other) about a range of community, regional and statewide assets and resources. Through CAP-Map, any entity will be able to contribute data into a web-based data management system. Data can be about:

• Particular assets or resources - information such as the nature of the resource or service, its location, and how it can be accessed.
• Geographic area data to be used for statistics, or to delineate service areas of resource-type assets.
• Social and health statistics related to service or geographic areas.

You can now access the CAP-MAP demonstration. For more information about CAP-Map, contact: Charlie French at 603-862-0316 or Shane Bradt at 603-862-4277.
