About the Company

GISJane, LLC is a consulting company specializing in geospatial solutions used for infrastructure projects and permitting across various fields, including planning, floodplain management, and environmental sustainability.

These solutions can be leveraged for projects ranging from engineering, surveying, and remote sensing to master planning, assets managing, finding water quality solutions, and outreaching communities.

GISJane is a woman-owned business located in St. Petersburg, Florida, founded by Jane E. Thompson, a Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM), and GIS Professional (GISP). The company advocates for clean water, flood preparedness, and communicates true flood risk and how to become more resilient.

Through the current project, GISJane is working on finding the best ways to model future conditions from extreme weather, compound flood models, anticipate climate adaptation planning, and ensure that socioeconomic issues and constraints are considered in planning resilient communities.

Mission

Our mission is to help decision-makers in the flood space to protect life, property, and the environment from the perils of flooding through the protection and conservation of water supply, prediction and prevention of flooding, management of stormwater, improvement of water quality and community outreach.

She has worked with municipal, state, federal and private clients for regulatory and non-regulatory projects.

Jane excels at building relationships around GIS, remote sensing, innovative technologies, water quality, floodplain and asset management. She works extensively in asset management and master planning including watershed, water waste, stormwater, county, mining operations and reclamation, environmental engineering, floodplain modeling and mapping, regulatory compliance, permitting and performs QA/QC of modeling inputs and mapping results as well as performs Intergovernmental Outreach.

Mrs. Thompson’s extensive experience and understanding of GIS asset management principles transcends disciplines and even fields lending her expertise to drive marketing, professional membership, design grants projects with outreach to dozens of government agencies at once with a deeper understanding of environmental and other impacts holistically.
