Live conditions
Weather alerts, river and tide gauges, wind, power outages, traffic and road work from public federal and state feeds. If a feed stops updating, Pelora says so.
In development · Looking for pilot towns
Your whole town on one live map.
Pelora gives city and town staff one shared picture of what's happening right now: weather alerts, flood gauges and tides, power outages, road closures, field crews and property records, all on a 3D map of the community.
Who it's for
Built for the people who keep a town running
Small and medium cities and towns rarely have a GIS team on call or a command center. Pelora puts the picture those teams would build in front of every department that needs it.
- Emergency managementStorms, floods and outages, with one map everyone shares.
- Fire and policeClosures, hazards and crews in the field, as they change.
- Public works and utilitiesYour own water, sewer and stormwater maps beside live conditions.
- Planning and GISEveryday map tools without a desktop GIS license for every seat.
- Harbor and waterfrontMoorings, waitlists, tides and harbor conditions.
- Clerks and recordsProperty documents and cemetery records tied to a place on the map.
What it does
One picture, shared by every department
Public data feeds and your town's own records, kept current and laid over a 3D model of your community.
A 3D model of your town
Every building on the map. Open one to see its address, parcel and the documents your town keeps for it.
Events and alerts
Mark road closures and hazards from the map or from the field. Urgent items come first, and everything is kept in a log for the after-action review.
What-if simulations
Raise the water level and see which buildings and roads flood, which neighborhoods get cut off and how traffic shifts when roads close. Estimates are always labeled as estimates.
Crews in the field
Staff share their phone's location to the map during an event from a web page, with nothing to install.
Everyday map tools
Draw and mark up, measure, buffer, browse layers as tables, and print or export maps for meetings and reports.
Department modules
Harbor moorings and waitlists, cemetery lots and burials, and a property document library, each tied to its place on the map.
Ask in plain language
Ask questions about what's on the map and get answers that point back to it, without needing to know which layer to open.
A page for residents
Each town chooses what to share with the public, such as public documents and cemetery search. Staff decide what is published.
How we build it
Made to be trusted by a public agency
Your data stays your town's
Upload your own GIS files, spreadsheets and records. Departments can keep their own versions or share them across the town. We're designing Pelora so you can always take your data with you in standard formats.
Real data and estimates never mix
Map layers show measured, sourced data. Models and projections live in simulations, clearly marked, so nobody mistakes a guess for a reading.
Accessible by design
Built toward WCAG 2.1 AA, with an accessibility conformance report (VPAT) that states plainly what is and isn't there yet. Available on request.
Private and secure
Hosted on Amazon Web Services in the United States, with invitation-only staff sign-in and encrypted storage.
Where we are
In active development
Pelora isn't for sale yet, and no town is using it in production. We're building it with input from municipal staff, starting in Massachusetts, and we're looking for a few cities and towns to help shape a pilot.
If you work for a town and the problems above sound familiar, we'd like to hear what would make this useful for you.
-
Working today, in a private demoLive map, 3D buildings, events, simulations, field units and the department modules above.
-
Coming nextData export and an open read interface, resident reporting, and the security and administration pieces a town needs before going live.
-
Then: pilot townsA small number of towns working with us directly to set it up around their own data.
