Hi, I guess some have noticed but here is an article from The Guardian . Online volunteers map Philippines after typhoon Haiyan Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team coordinates mapping effort after enormous storm devastated country
More than 700 volunteers have collaborated to provide rescue workers with high quality maps of areas in the Philippines hit by typhoon Haiyan. Working on OpenStreetMap, a collaboratively created map of the world – like Wikipedia, but for cartographers – the volunteers have made over 1.5m changes, providing information for humanitarian aid workers on the ground and updating maps to reflect damage from the storm. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/nov/15/online-volunteers-map-philippines-after-typhoon-haiyan Regards, Pavithran -- pavithran sakamuri http://look-pavi.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
