risis mapping is a new field of study that uses modern technology to analyze the combination of time, location and content. According to a prominent blog about crisis mapping entitled iRevolution by Patrick Meier, it is where “[s]cholars, practitioners, and communities alike are working together to create, analyze, visualize and use real-time data for humanitarian response and post-conflict reconstruction and development (Meier, “Proposing” 2009).” This combination of theory and application for social benefit gives crisis mapping the opportunity to create substantial change when addressing crises.

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.

• Map Kibera’s Security maps used
by Police and Peace builders to
enhance security and promote peace
in the local neighborhoods.
Printed Maps were distributed to the
Police, The local administration and
the District Peace Committees in
both locations.
183. • Map Kibera successfully used its
methodology and tools to monitor the
2013 general elections in Kibera,
Mathare and partially in Mukuru slums
reducing likelihood of violence to almost
zero in these election hotspot locations.
184. • Since Map Kibera began focusing on
dangerous or ‘black spots’ and mapping
them in Kibera and Mathare, New police
posts have been constructed in
response.
185. • Kibera and Mathare slums are now open
more open and accessible than before.
Generated map data has made
development agencies and devolved
government committees enhance their
intervention approaches to minimize
duplication of projects and design more
relevant interventions.
186. • Several agencies, researchers and
organizations continue to approach Map
Kibera for more data on various
thematic subjects covered by Map
Kibera’s mapping.

226. VOLUNTEERS
A HUGE SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOU
PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL OR SMS TO AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR
VOLUNTERERS AND SAY THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO
AND FOR WHO YOU ARE!!
Earth engine was built for science, to do global analysis to ask new questions but it has a use one step further, and use apply science apply the science of disasters at this scale.(watch up tones) (ill give you an example of a collaborative research project)-but we could leverage this technology together with science, what does that mean for crisis mapping. I’m gonna show you how we have leveraged google earth engine to answer this question,
One solution- use science to refine (PRACTICE SAYING ONE SENTENCE PER SLIDE). This takes years of developing and days to run the model
Who would need to do this on the fly? Crisis mappers- mention who this technology exists todayGoogle earth engine can take terabytes of information and can analyzed scientific methods and algorithms on a speed and scale that’s never been done before.(im using this platform in my research).
We pull from both social and natural science to write that algortihm. I study hydrology, and bessie, who here with me today in the front row studies social science.
When we run this algorithm it gives us a real time risk surface anywhere in the US, pinpointing the location and number of people most affected.
Make the transition to next section
Whatif
Text or phone (making the science faster and to more people) (website, or an text message), or by a more prepared red cross.When scientists, programmers, and disaster reliefe experts come together…
Yale and thanks this is a proof concept that we’ve built but in order to achieve its full potential we came to nairobi to find looking for collaborators at this conference- disaster relief managers, better programers, to help us test the accuracy, improving the science and find better applications for this.

The ignite talks before me… Wow…. Their slides , Amazing….. Now you have me!!!!! A bit of background to why this presentation is not “all singing and dancing as the professional ones before”
Crazy never again!!!!

GOOD TO MENTION THAT WE HAVE GEO CLICKERS AS WELL COMING ONLINE THAT WILL INTEGRATE DIRECTLY WITH STORY MAP. This would have helped with backlog of geo locating

In the background you will see slides of the first part of SBTF’s activation with DHN members. SBTF led this phase.The slides tell the story which I or Patrick are more than happy to elaborate on during the next few days I want to talk about he most important part of the activation.NOW TO BE SERIOUS!VOLUNTEERS ARE NOT FREE.THEY TAKE TIME,SUPPORT, TRAININGYOU DO NOT WANT TO ABUSE THEM BY JUST MAKING A PICTURE FOR THE HELL OF ITSHOW THEM HOW THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING AND WHAT THEY ARE CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS.DURING THE LAST WEEK OR SO MANY OF US HERE HAVE BEEN WORKING RATHER HARD. OUR VOLUNTEERS HAVE BEEN WORKING JUST AS MUCH IF NOT MORETHIS WAS ONE REASON THAT IS NOT SPOKEN ABOUT WHY MICROMAPPERS WAS CREATED“”””””””””””MICROMAPPING---------------- MAKING CRISIS MAPPING EASIER!””””””””””””””””””””””
