<p class="MsoNormal">I work for a large insurance company and stumbled upon open street maps and their humanitarian mapping for some international catastrophe events. Ironically, I’ve just switched email programs and my mail rule didn’t transfer, so I have
been paying more attention to this subscription.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve always been curious about this and have been trying to see how all of this works. I used a lot of public data as we planned for Fort McMurray response. Any sort of mapping that confirms damaged buildings would be a great resource
as every time something like this happens, the information flow is different. I’m hoping that once I figure out how the maps and updates work, I can share them with some of the others I work with and contribute more. I’ve got a few other industry contacts
that would probably be up for the same as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone can send me the best place to get started on fully understanding all of this, I would appreciate it.<o:p></o:p></p>
