Welcome to the GaNCH-website wiki!

The Georgia Natural, Cultural, and Historic organizations site is designed to provide quick retrieval of location and contact information for disaster response. The site offers a simple interface to locate institutions and provide publicly-accessible details to aid first responders.

The site retrieves, caches, and displays information managed in Wikidata, which serves as the source of truth for all information presented via GaNCH. The intention is to provide a useful user interface to visitors seeking quick answers to questions regarding addresses, locations, and responsible parties, all of which will be valuable in the event of a disaster.

The application is designed to allow administrators to edit queries to request Wikidata information for a particular county, region, or the entire state. In addition, email reminders can be sent to responsible parties, reminding them to verify their information in Wikidata and keep details current.
