Sessions
Mapping damage on OSM is critical to support the work of humanitarian organizations. Nonetheless, as recent discussions demonstrate, there is not yet a consensus on the best approach. Let's continue this conversation!
Several Missing Maps members will be attending the SotM conference, including Médecins Sans Frontières, British Red Cross, HeiGIT and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. We hope to use this time to open the panel and floor to questions about the projects and challenges of OSM within Humanitarian organisations.
