Why Balor?
Veteran-Owned & Mission-Driven: We are a proud veteran-owned small business, instilled with the values of service, agility, and integrity. Our team’s military and public service background means we understand the chain of command and the urgency of the mission. Government and nonprofit partners can take confidence in our reliability and commitment to duty – we’ve been in your shoes.
FEMA & Field Expertise: Our staff have directly supported hundreds of “incidents of national concern”, including Hurricane’s Katrina, Sandy, Maria, as well as COVID-19. From serving in FEMA leadership (geospatial integration) to working on Urban Search and Rescue Incident Support Teams, we know the processes, acronyms, and pain points. This deep expertise ensures our consulting advice aligns with federal frameworks and on-the-ground reality. We design every solution to fit within FEMA’s methodologies – for example, our Lifeline360 insights align with FEMA’s Community Lifelines construct, mapping impacts to critical services. When we recommend a course of action, you can trust it’s FEMA-informed and field-proven.
Esri Startup Partner & Tech-Savvy: Balor Analytics is an official Esri Startup Partner, part of a select network recognized for innovative geospatial products. The Esri Startup Partner badge – one of our industry affiliations underlining technical credibility. This partnership means we leverage the ArcGIS platform to its fullest – integrating our services seamlessly into tools many agencies already use. (No new software or procurement headaches – we meet you where you are). We also collaborate with leading data providers (satellite imagery, IoT sensors, weather data) – turning raw data into usable intelligence for our clients. Being tech-savvy isn’t just a buzzword for us; it’s in our DNA to continuously innovate and bring you the best of modern data science in an easy-to-use form.
Trusted & Proven: Our track record is built on years of experience and early successes. Our team members have supported response and recovery efforts across the country, from coordinating multi-state GIS teams during major hurricanes to developing dashboards for wildfire response. We carry lessons learned from each operation.
In short, Balor Analytics combines big-firm capability with small-business care. We’re agile, responsive, and tailor our approach to each client. And we stand by your side: when a disaster strikes, we don’t drop off a report and disappear – we’re there with you, offering on-call support and even boots-on-the-ground help if needed
