Building on damage mapping approaches refined by SeverinGeo (together with Les Libres Géographes), Médecins Sans Frontières and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team this session aims to continue the discussion on best practice when it comes to mapping damage in OSM. Arguably, we are at a critical juncture when it comes to damage mapping in OSM because several organizations/communities are starting to consolidate around a common approach. We hope to use this session to expose that approach to greater scrutiny from the crowd, such that it may be refined (or entirely discarded!).

The session will include real world examples of damage mapping, including quick walkthroughs of the damage mapping process carried out by volunteers on behalf of humanitarian organizations.
