[HOT] CrisisNET: The Next Generation of Crisis Data

[Pierre Béland]

Comparisons 
between OpenStreetMap and Google Maps for either Tacloban, Philippines 
or Geckedou, Guinea clearly show that we should use OpenStreeMap in such crisis context as the two HOT Activations.

The default basemap should be the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap style which is more adapted for the humanitarian 
context. 

An other aspect is the data collected and the possibility to assure that this data be licensed OpenData.Such Crisis Data tools should be designed by assuring that the data license will not be contaminated by the fact that people may have used the Google Map layer to geolocate data.

The integration of an OpenStreetMap editor directly in this tool would also greatly contribute to a better ecosystem with OpenStreetMap.

too bad you are posting to an openstreetmap list and advertise for
google maps here: http://crisis.net/explore/

would that be possible for you to switch to osm?
