[Geo4All] Geo4All Humanitarian mapathons lead

Fri Apr 22 00:05:21 PDT 2016

Dear Suchith and all,
I'm happy to provide assistance and guidance to people from the GeoForAll
network willing to help in mapping humanitarian responses. There is a high
need for maps (not only after disasters) and everyone's contribution is
precious.
During the GeoForAll webinar scheduled on May 5 we will introduce the
humanitarian mapping with OSM and our experience with children (see [1]).
About the Ecuador earthquake, I would like to point those interested at the
wiki which gives an overview of the situation and provides links to mapping
tools, projects and guidelines [2]. I suggest any person interested in
contributing mapping to take a look at this page.
All the best,

Marco

> Dear Colleagues,
>
> The earthquakes in Nepal last year and Japan and Ecuador last week,
> highlighted the importance of having a key lead from Geo4All to coordinate
> our mapathons for providing rapid assistance to HOT and the humanitarian
> organizations facing the post-event operations.
>
> Marco Minghini and colleagues at Politecnico di Milano have always
> provided us with strong leadership on this and i propose that we have Marco
> Minghini and Politecnico di Milano as our main lead for coordinating
> Geo4All Humanitarian mapathons .
>
> Similar to our webinars (Webinars are now coordinated and lead by Rafael
> and University of Denver), I suggest that we also have a seperate link in
> our website to provide details of this  (including links to tutorials etc)
> so in future rapid action can be taken. Thank you Marco for your help.
