The Landing, Hunt LibraryAbout This Event
Many parts of the world most vulnerable to humanitarian crises such as natural disasters, epidemics or conflict are not mapped. As part of our GIS Day activities, drop by Hunt Library and join a crowd-sourced effort to provide maps that assist in disaster preparedness and humanitarian and crisis relief.
No mapping experience is needed! You’ll learn how to contribute to OpenStreetMap, the “Wikipedia of Maps,” and work on a project to add map data to an area of the world that has not yet been mapped.
This is a drop-in event, so come anytime between 4-5pm and you’ll have a chance to contribute map data.
