Open Street Map community responds to Haiti crisis
,----[ Quote ]
| There has recently been a flurry of
| activity in the Open Street Map community
| to improve maps of Haiti to assist
| humanitarian aid organisations responding
| to the recent earthquake.
|
| In particular mappers and developers are
| scouring satellite images to identify
| collapsed and damaged buildings/bridges,
| spontaneous refugee camps, landslides,
| blocked roads and other damaged
| infrastructure - to help NGOs and
| international organisations respond more
| effectively to the crisis.
