[HOT] Article and video in Dar Post on HOT/World Bank community mapping project

[Mark Iliffe]

Hi All,

Here’s the direct link to the article too: http://www.darpost.com/2015/11/data-drones-combat-dars-floods/ <http://www.darpost.com/2015/11/data-drones-combat-dars-floods/>. I think it showcases two really important contributions of http://ramanihuria.org: <http://ramanihuria.org/> The impact that this is having on local government officials, who through this have got maps for the first time and the drainage network collected through community mapping: https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/pauluithol.8bfb05ca/page.html?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoicGF1bHVpdGhvbCIsImEiOiJkMDkzZWFjZWUzZDhkODEwMmZjNzg4ZDI4ZDk1M2Q5NiJ9.obu_bJ3gwHdMlt6ipVyuPA#14/-6.7887/39.2298 <https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v4/pauluithol.8bfb05ca/page.html?access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoicGF1bHVpdGhvbCIsImEiOiJkMDkzZWFjZWUzZDhkODEwMmZjNzg4ZDI4ZDk1M2Q5NiJ9.obu_bJ3gwHdMlt6ipVyuPA#14/-6.7887/39.2298>. Hopefully this presents a new opportunity towards creating flood inundation and hydrological models from data collected by community members.  

Best,

Mark
