[talk-ph] Fwd: Planning ahead of disasters with GIS

[maning sambale]

Pucha!  I almost fell-off my chair!

"With each map sheet costing P500,000, creating a GIS base map will
cost P6.5 billion."

I know data creation is expensive, but is it really that much (500K
per mapsheet)?

Sagutin natin na may available ng mga opensource tools for this and
what we need are more support from the government to complete base
maps ng phil. Much cheaper din kung open source gagamitin.
