Planning flood hazard in Cali
Explore fluvial and pluvial flood-hazard categories published in the land-use plan. Inspect each polygon’s hazard type and source while keeping the two publications separate.
These are planning scenarios, without real-time observations or alerts. The absence of a polygon does not establish safety. No single return period is assigned to every record, and hazard is not treated as parcel risk. Visible-area query limited to 500 records and a 2 MiB response. Filters and statistics describe loaded records; a partial query does not represent the entire city. Retrieval and catalog modification dates are not data dates.

Open Cali map →How to use the map
- Open the prepared query for this theme in the viewer. Locate an area using latitude, longitude coordinates or general place and address search.
- Review enabled layers and zoom to their query scale. Check each layer’s scope: it may query the visible area or the full municipal extent. An empty or unavailable service does not establish that no conditions apply.
- Select a feature on the map or in the Results list. Check its attributes, retrieval time and any partial-result notice.
- Choose a field and exact value to filter the layer. Export includes received results, with attribution and dates. Its coverage depends on the query scope and filters.
Local search and identifiers
Locate an area by coordinates or general address and place search; a match does not identify or certify a parcel. Explore its layers and published attributes. Official NPN searches and land-use opinions are provided by the municipal portal.
Cali uses the 30-digit National Parcel Number (NPN); municipal services also distinguish the parcel identifier and local parcel number. GeoSAT does not convert these identifiers to Medellín’s CBML or provide cadastral search in Cali. Use the official land-use service to consult an NPN.
Query guide for Cali →Sources, dates and limits
Each source’s verification date appears in the table. Retrieval time is not the data update date. Small city-wide layers use the full extent; larger layers depend on the visible area. Reference publications retain their original retrieval date. Each response contains up to 500 features and 2 MB. Reference publications load matching pages, up to 5,000 features and 8 MB per query. External services may return partial samples, identified in the viewer.
