Paul Knight
I am the Data Culture and Community, Manager at the British Red Cross, bridging the gap between data, users and communities, aiming that insight or products are used effectively to mobilise the power of humanity so that people can prepare for, respond to, and recover from crisis. I advise and support British Red Cross International programmes with GIS and data, and coordinate the Missing Maps Project in the British Red Cross. I have been engaged with OSM since 2014, and continue to contribute, and learn from community!
Session
Data Readiness is the ability to use quality and timely information in humanitarian operations and programmes. This presentation will introduce the collaborative 5-year journey of the British and Nigerian Red Cross, where OSM was used to build foundational data capabilities to enhance effective humanitarian decision-making and community engagement.
