, /PRNewswire/ -- LightBox, a leader in geospatial intelligence and property data solutions, is proud to announce the expansion of its long-standing partnership with the State of California. Building on more than 20 years of collaboration, LightBox is now delivering enterprise-level support to all state agencies and departments through the California Department of Technology, providing access to its industry-leading platforms, LightBox Vision and LightBox Data.

This enhanced partnership establishes a single, authoritative platform for property and location data, empowering California agencies to streamline operations, enhance decision-making, and foster collaboration across departments.

"This expanded partnership marks a significant milestone in modernizing how California's agencies access and utilize property data," said Lothar Petrik, California's Geographic Information Officer. "Adopting LightBox's enterprise solutions equips our state agencies with the necessary tools to serve our communities effectively and foster greater inter-agency collaboration."

Transformative Benefits for California State Agencies

Strengthening the relationship with LightBox equips California's agencies with advanced technologies and data-driven strategies to tackle complex challenges and deliver enhanced public services statewide. Key features and benefits delivered by LightBox include:

Real-World Impact: Wildfire Mitigation and Inter-Agency Coordination

LightBox data is actively used by CAL FIRE, the Office of Emergency Services (OES), the California Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the California Department of Technology (CDT) during real-time emergency responses. Leveraging LightBox platforms, these agencies swiftly identify at-risk infrastructure, optimize resource deployment, and enhance decision-making to protect communities and mitigate damage.

This enterprise-level integration also enables California's emergency response efforts to align seamlessly with federal agencies such as FEMA and DHS, which rely on LightBox data for disaster preparedness and recovery nationwide. Furthermore, California's agencies are tying ground truth data to LightBox's platforms, allowing them to deploy resources in real time and ensure disaster impacts on survivors are managed efficiently and effectively. With the future of some federal programs uncertain, states like California face growing pressure to build self-reliant, data-driven disaster response systems.

This interoperability between state and federal datasets enhances situational awareness, accelerates critical decision-making, and ensures a coordinated disaster response, ultimately saving lives and reducing long-term impacts.

Driving California's Vision for Innovation

"We are honored to deepen our partnership with the State of California at this critical moment in its digital transformation," said Caroline Stoll, General Manager, Data and Analytics at LightBox. "By connecting state and federal datasets through platforms like LightBox Data and LightBox Vision, we are empowering agencies to address complex challenges, from wildfire mitigation to disaster recovery, with greater precision and speed. This collaboration reflects our commitment to delivering meaningful outcomes that protect lives and drive progress across the state."
