Volunteer teams of two to four GIS professionals will work with identified communities to provide custom services depending on their needs. These communities will be identified in partnership with FEMA Community Planners and the local governments they are assisting with recovery. This will include the consideration of services that are being coordinated with other organizations and local resources on the ground.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white'><span style='color:#3D4957'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white'><span style='color:#3D4957'>GISCorps volunteers will assist in a variety of ways:</span><o:p></o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#3D4957;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6;background:white'>Field data collection<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#3D4957;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6;background:white'>Mapping of areas with high priority needs (i.e. inadequate / informal infrastructure)<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#3D4957;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6;background:white'>Digitization of information from Community Knowledge maps (residents add their own observations of hazards / opportunities)<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:#3D4957;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6;background:white'>Training of local government staff in the use of GIS, GPS, and other resources<o:p></o:p></li></ul><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white'><span style='color:#3D4957'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;background:white'><span style='color:#3D4957'>Chosen volunteers will not be paid for their time spent on the island or for any follow-up work that results from the project. <u>All donations will go directly to covering per diem and travel expenses.</u><br><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>The Volunteers</span></strong>: URISA's GISCorps coordinates volunteer-based, short term, highly specialized GIS service projects to underprivileged communities.
