Thrilling to know about this. Do we already have the link to the webinar?

Asunto: Re: [Geo4All] Geo4All Humanitarian mapathons lead

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.

Suchith

Dear all,

following the terrible earthquakes that have hit Japan and Ecuador, tomorrow we will have a mapathon here at GEOlab - Politecnico di Milano to assist HOT and the humanitarian organizations facing the post-event operations.

If anyone wants to join the mapathon from remote (or simply would like to help in mapping but has no experience on how to do that), please contact me.

All the best,

Marco
