HALLOWELL, ME, UNITED STATES, October 31, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa across the Caribbean, Blue Marble Geographics is offering free temporary licenses of Global Mapper Pro® to assist government agencies, charitable organizations and emergency response teams involved in recovery and rebuilding efforts.

On Thursday, Hurricane Melissa left a wake of widespread damage across the Caribbean including Jamaica and Haiti, destroying infrastructure and displacing thousands. To support those leading relief and recovery operations, Blue Marble is extending access to its GIS and 3D data analysis software, enabling users to efficiently assess damage, coordinate resources, and plan utility restoration projects.

Global Mapper is a comprehensive and easy-to-use GIS application that supports a wide range of spatial data formats, including elevation models, satellite imagery, and lidar point clouds. Its robust terrain analysis and 3D visualization tools help relief teams identify damaged infrastructure, map flooding, and plan logistics routes for deploying resources.

Marketing Manager, Jessica Vachon, shared, "our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted by Hurricane Melissa. At Blue Marble Geographics, we believe technology should serve people. Providing Global Mapper to support disaster-relief efforts is one small way we can contribute to the critical work being done to protect lives and restore communities."
