Crowds helping make a difference: Japan and Libya

In CrisisMapping, Emergencies on March 29, 2011 by Nigel Snoad

Two maps to point to:

Libya Crisis Map, a collaboration of the Crisis Mappers Standby Task Force and UNOCHA. It’s been running for a while, and is now using a different group of volunteers, but it’s provided a single place for crisis information to be aggregated.

Japan Crisis Map was setup and is maintained by members of the Open Street Map team in Japan. It’s not formally connected with the UNOCHA or UN efforts, but some of that team have been working with us on a number of projects, and it’s great to see them responding in this way.
