Mapping Refugee Crisis Europe 2015

[Katja Ulbert]

Hello OSM communities in Austria, Hungary and Bavaria, 

I am a community member of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team HOT 
http://hotosm.org/ and part of their Communication Working Group. I would 
like to know if any of you is involved in mapping activities in this 
humanitarian crisis taking place in these three countries? In my opinion it 
could be highly useful to locate refugee camps, tent cities and other 
housings for logistics and coordination, and to estimate the number of 
refugees arriving. 

HOT hasn´t received a formal request to activate, so I started mapping 
camps and tents on my own, based on information from newspapers and 
websites from local initiatives and refugee organisations. But I have no 
local knowledge and the data is not verified on the ground or field mapped, 
so I can only rely on what I see on satellite imagery and what my 
experience tells me. As a precaution I did not upload the data to the OSM 
server to prevent the locations from being targeted by anti-immigrant or 
right-wing activists. 

So if you have any knowledge about mapping initiatives or even support a 
humanitarian organisation by mapping, I would be glad to join and help. 

Kind regards 

Katja
