5. The OpenStreetMap response to Disasters
Organization
The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team acts as a bridge between the
OpenStreetMap community and the humanitarian actors
● Assures a quick response, interacting and establishing the priorities with the
humanitarian actors : UN agencies, International organizations, national
governments, Imagery providers
● Imagery acquisition and processing
● Crowdsource Remote mapping
● Opensource Tools development
● Assure Data Exports in various formats
● Respond to humanitarians specific needs
6. The OpenStreetMap response to Disasters
The OpenData
,
Various Data inputs into OpenStreetMap
● Aerial imagery provided free by various Imagery providers (pre and post-event)
● OpenData Data Imports compatible with OSM OdbL License
– Administrative limits, Locality names, Infrastructures
● Contributors inputs
– Locality / Street names, infrastructures
Map services and Data Exports
● Various Map Services and Data Exports free and OpenData
– Daily updates for GIS analysis, Mobile devices maps and road navigation
(Android, IOS, GPS)
– Online Maps & Road navigation,
– Paper Maps with street index
– FieldPapers for field team data collection
7. Data Imports
● For each new crisis, the problem of importing Settlement place
names, administrative boundaries and vital infrastructures emerge
● Given the limited technical capacities of the administration of many
Development countries, there is often no georeferenced data readily
available about important infrastructures such as hospitals, schools,
features that can be used as shelters.
● When the data is available, there are often Data access limitations
or Licensing problems to use rapidly such data in context of rapid
response to humanitarian needs
● A plan should be developped to support governments in the
development of OpenData that can be shared with humanitarian
organizations in the context of humanitarian crisis
● To assure that such data be imported in OpenStreetMap, the data
should be accessible with standard formats of exchange and there
should be no license restriction for commercial use
8. Infrastructures data collection
● A lot of efforts are made by various organizations, coordinating with OCHA
and other actors to provide geolocated data. The process is complex and
there are licensing issues
● Collecting the data in emergency context, licenses issues are not
considered. ODK Data collection Forms could be used to feed OSM
● OSM offers the possibility to develop an ecosystem very flexible where
various organizations can collaborate, add edit sharable data Plan for
other activations
● We should look for long term solutions, assure that the Data collection is
better systematized and sharable
– Data collection methods should assure to license as OpenData (avoid
using commercial geolocation tools)
– New mobile devices offer new possibilities. The humanitarian
organizations should plan to collect and share as OpenData
– The possibility to share data stored on OpenStreetMap should be
examined
– OSM edit tools and Data Collection Forms for Mobile devices should
be adapted to facilitate collection of humanitarian sharable data
9. OpenData as a Common Asset
We need to share Data
● OpenData licences restriction often do not let bring vital
informations into OSM
● Humanitarians organizations and national governments
have valuable data in various forms
● We need to think of a way for the various organizations to
share data more effectively
– Let's take the Mobile device revolution, use it to share
data
– Let's react more rapidly to disasters
● It is important that Civil Society organizations like
OpenStreetMap have a voice in International events to
progress with such challenges
10. OpenStreetMap : An ecosystem for rapid
and efficient intervention
With the OpenStreetMap rapid intervention for Haiyan, Philippines and West Africa
Ebola, this was the defacto Reference map for these international interventions. The
capacity to mobilize international volunteers through Internet assures access to
essential products and services
The Black and white map
- OSM database and Maps
updated to the minute
- Humanitarian style
- Paper Maps + FieldPapers
Maps for field survey
- Offline Android / IOS
- GIS Download
Let's color the map with thematics
We need a change of culture and
adapt to small mobile technology.
What data and how the government
and humanitarians could share with
other organizations ?
Government OpenData to share
administrative limits and other
public data
Humanitarian Organizations
Field Teams Collecting
- infrastructure data
- Locality names
- etc
Coordination with UN and
humanitarians
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap
Team makes the bridge with
the humanitarians
11. Layers that do not talk
one to the other
Let's develop ways to communicate
and share data
12. The grants from Hewlett will support organizations
working on a variety of high-priority public health
initiatives for Ebola Response, including the
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap

Red : Post-disaster, blue : pre-disaster
HOT / OSM community Activation for the Haiyan Typhoon, Nov 8, 2013
This map shows grossly the affected zone. We also see the various zones remotely mapped by the OSM community from internet, coordinating via the HOT task Manager.

Damage assesments
What are the limits?
•Satellite images map products have limitations:
– due to spatial resolution, viewing configuration, non-optimal timing
– because of non-optimal atmospheric conditions (haze, clouds)
– due to errors in processing (e.g. geocoding) or interpretation (subjectivity)
– due to incompleteness, lack of reference data, etc.
Port-au-Prince 2010
– The underestimation of damages in satellite data compared to aerial imagery and field observations was striking

Nov.7, Andrew Buck invites the HOT community. 10,000 buildings traced in Tacloban.
Sunday 10th Nov: HOT official Activation > Coordination with various actors including OCHA, the American Red Cross, VISOV and the US State Dept Humanitarian Information Unit (HIU).
The International Charter 'Space & Major Disasters' imagery providers realigning satellites to obtain post-disaster imagery.
Our imagery specialists look for Imagery, process and host it.
A revised humanitarian mapping workflow is setup with a tagging scheme for damaged buildings and infrastructures
Adaptation of the various tools to deliver appropriate maps.
Monday 11th Nov : The European Commission released the first post-disaster imageries of Tacloban.
Wednesday 13th Nov : HIU delivers Post-disaster imagery from Digital Globe and the first Post-disaster Task Manager job is available for mappers to look at damaged buildings of Tacloban.
