[HOT] OSM Community mapping in flood prone areas in Malawi

[Banick, Robert]

Hi Sev,

Great post and awesome work. It’s all very exciting, especially as it’s a great opportunity for Emir and Maning to bring some cross-regional insights to the project (and bring them back home in turn).

I know it’s a ways off, but I’d be really interested to hear how the InaSAFE training goes in September. Do keep writing!

Cheers,
Robert

Subject: [HOT] OSM Community mapping in flood prone areas in Malawi

Hi,
I published yesterday a blog post about the HOT project in Malawi in which Maning, Emir and I will be involved: http://hot.openstreetmap.org/updates/2014-08-02_project_in_malawi_starts_in_the_field
We will be able to replicate and emphasize what happened a few months ago in Lubumbashi, DRC with an interaction between the HOT-OSM worldwide community and Hotties in the field, teaching government, local authorities and local communities to use OSM for mapping and more specifically this time crisis preparedness, as the areas of interests are flood prone along the Shire river. We will also set OSM Community mobilizers that will be identified throughout the project to continue the mapping and the interaction in the future. I get back soon as mentioned in the blog post with a first TM job and presets to make evolve.
Sincerely,
Severin
