Community Addresses is a configuration of ArcGIS that helps communities (states, counties, emergency operations centers, and so on) aggregate address information from authoritative sources and use this information to facilitate emergency response, permitting, administrative services and other related workflows.

Typically, address data is managed by local governments and used extensively to manage local government operations. Aggregating this data in to larger geographies (county, region, watershed, or state) helps organizations address common needs or issues that affect residents in many local governments and improve emergency response, permitting, and administrative services at a more regional level.

To get started, download the ArcGIS Solution and place the contents on your computer. Then, you can configure Community Addresses in your environment. In doing so, you'll learn how to aggregate address information, and publish address maps and locators in your environment.
