“GISCorps’ assistance has helped Kisatchie-Delta Regional Planning & Development District re-establish GIS capabilities at a crucial point in time to support economic and disaster recovery after cascading disasters of numerous hurricanes, COVID, and a prior, catastrophic technology incident.”

The people behind GISCorps are very helpful and accommodating. They try to understand the needs of the organization and then find ways on how they can extend their assistance. We have benefited a lot from the outstanding services of GISCorps and their volunteers.

GIS Corps was so helpful for our small non-profit. Both the management structure and the skill level of the volunteer were so helpful for us.

The mission of the Mountain Rescue Association is to provide a central agency through which the efforts and activities of member units may be coordinated to more effectively promote mountain safety education and provide integrated mountain rescue services. The valuable volunteer professional services from the GISCorps provided us the needed expertise to collect geospatial search and rescue mission data from across the country. This data collection tool will provide a sustainable and perpetual open data source for researchers and search and rescue professionals around the world to participate in relevant research that will inevitably save lives. This could not have been accomplished if it wasn’t for the GISCorps and their dedication to the mission.

GISCorps was an integral part of our ability to get a complex, multi-stakeholder GIS technology project out the door and up and running. Without them, we would have been rudderless. Thank you, GISCorps!

GIS Corps was a pleasure to work with and extremely professional throughout the entire process. Many thanks to Shoreh, Wincy, Holly and of course our incredible volunteer Jeff, for helping make our project a reality!

Our experience with GISCorps volunteer Jeff Scarmazzi was amazing from start to finish. Jeff was able to help us figure out how to put an ESRI multi-layered global map on a react native platform, which has never been done before. Jeff worked diligently to address any issues that came up as we worked through the solution and was excellent at being quick to respond and collaborate with our development team.

The GISCorps team was incredibly supportive as we took on a big project to visualize an industry that is challenging to make transparent. Though we ultimately will need to do more work on the data-gathering end to bring it to reality, our volunteer Brett helped me to realize just how much we could demonstrate using GIS, and dream even bigger for our project.
