Reposted from @hotosm.org Slack: 📢 Mapping support needed! On 15 August, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck off Indonesia's Flores Island, leading to several fatalities, thousands displaced, and damaged infrastructure. In response, HOT has launched mapping projects in priority areas via MapSwipe.

In response to some new mappers wanting to pitch in to help first responders in Myanmar, I created a quick tutorial for beginners using OpenStreetMap and HOTOSM tasks. Let's get mapping. #MyanmarEarthquake #Myanmar www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaQj...

In 2020, community mappers led by Nicera Wanjiru of Shack Dwellers International Kenya conducted a study across Kibera mapping waste points. Last Saturday, the #UNMappers Kenya Youth Climate Mapping Externship team went, armed w/ #kobotoolbox & #chatmap #ClimateAction #OpenData #CommunityMapping

In collaboration with the Optus Academy of Geoinformatics🇺🇬 we held a training on #JOSM, one of the most powerful #OpenStreetMap tools for editing and quality assurance, participated by interns and the wider mapping community. 💙🗺️📍 #UNMaps #UNMappers #opendata #openmapping #capacitybuilding #training

Through the #UNMaps Community Ambassadors Pilot Initiative, we introduced open mapping and grew the #UNMappers community to places it has never been before as well as gained insights on how we can strengthen community-owned open data 🌐💽 #OpenStreetMap #opendata #volunteering ##communitybuilding
