Ambulance Meeting Point Signs in Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine

An official vector layer updated annually, this dataset provides the geographic positions of ambulance meeting point signs in the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine regions. The data was centralized by the South-East Forest Management Directorate with the help of the Regional Operations Sector and Rexforêt, integrating information for emergency services and forest workers. The project was launched in the early 2000s to establish a uniform network for safety in the forest environment.

Use Cases

• Mapping emergency response infrastructure based on the described geographic positions of signs.
• Planning forestry worker safety routes based on the network of ambulance meeting points.
• Integrating location data for emergency action plans and call center operations as mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is official and updated annually, ensuring regular maintenance.
• Covers two specific regions (Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine) with standardized information.
• Project history and centralization by named organizations (South-East Forest Management Directorate, SOR, Rexforêt) are documented.
