With shifting demographics and an influx of new residents, that informal system no longer works. Today, many of us don’t even know our neighbors’ last names—let alone how to direct emergency responders to their homes in a crisis. That’s about to change. A new initiative led by Hon. Saunders, in partnership with Google Maps, is tackling this issue.
