Following the terrible earthquakes in Japan and Ecuador, GEOlab is hosting a humanitarian mapathon on April 20, 2016 in room A3.3 (Castelnuovo building – Como Campus of Politecnico di Milano, see map) from 5 pm to 7 pm. The aim is to accelerate the creation of maps to help the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and all the humanitarian organizations working in the post-disaster phase.
Mapping will be focused on the following tasks:
If you cannot come physically, you can even join from remote. Just remember to include #mapathonpolimi in all your changeset comments! In case you need assistance, we will be available all day on IRC on #mapathonpolimi channel.
Happy mapping!
