Abstract
Forecasting and monitoring earth phenomenon is fundamental to reducing natural disasters hazards. However, how to react after a given disaster occurs is also a key issue that can improve response times and save lives. GISCorps is a program of the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) that coordinates short-term, volunteer-based GIS services to underprivileged communities.
