2. OSM Digital Humanitarian Community
●
●
Haiti showed the capacity of volunteer citizens
to provide through internet Crowdsource
geographic data from which UN planned the
humanitarian response
Typhoon Haiyan showed the capacity to scale
further to respond to this major disaster
3. The OpenStreetMap Ecosystem
Developpers and contributors meet through Internet
● Map of the world edited by more then a million Volunteers
● Opendata OdbL license
● Open Platform, Data interchange with ArgGIS, QGIS
● Rich community of OpenSource developpers
– Map Editors, Navigation, Extraction tools, Online maps,
Data Marts
●
No other organization has the capacity to escalate mapping
response like the OSM community does in context of
emergency, free and OpenData
●
4. Humanitarian OpenStreetMap
Team (HOT)
●
●

acts as a bridge between the OSM community and
the Humanitarians
Coordination with UN, International agencies such as
Red Cross and humanitarian NGO's
Offers various tools, learning material and services to
support humanitarian organizations,
Development projects in various countries
In 2013, Humanitarian Responses for Democratic
Republic of Congo, Mali, Syria and Philippines
7. Digitizing imagery provides the
skeleton of OSM maps
●
●
●
●
Where Bing Imagery is available, remote OSM
CrowdMapping is immediately started
In context of humanitarian response, various Satellite /
Aerial imagery providers take care to provide Pre and PostDisaster imagery.
For the Haiyan Typhoon, the OSM community participated
to identify damaged buildings
For Haiyan, some Civil Drone imagery were taken. In next
activations they should play a role. They can complete the
imagery available, and give for smaller zones a rapid and
flexible response, provide more precise informations
8. Field Survey and other OpenData to
complete the map
●
Availability of OpenData is essential
–
–
●
Names of Towns / Roads
–
●
Administrative boundaries
Geolocation and Names of essential structures
License problems for administrative data
Field team from various Humanitarian NGO's
start to play a greater role in the geolocalisation
of infrastructures
9. Create the Map
●
Priority Zones to map, Pre and Post-disaster
●
Mapping instructions
●
Coordinate the CrowdMapping effort
10. Tasking Manager – tasks.hotosm.org
●
Scalability
●
Coordinated and systematic mapping
●
Monitor the progression
15. Smartphones offer new possibilities
●
Variety of Applications / Offline editing
●
Can be adapted for humanitarians
●
Possibility to share on a common platform
●

23. Map Styles
●
Tilemill editor
●
MapCSS Stylesheet
●
Various Styles for different purposes
●
Same styles in JOSM facilitates edition
●
●
Custom styles in JOSM can be used to highlight
humanitarian infrastructures to update
Humanitarian Style : More POI's and
humanitarian related objects
28. Crowdmap : Impact maps
●
Gathers infos from SMS and other sources
●
Helps prioritize mapping / Inform Humanitarians
●
DHNetwork workflows to develop with OSM

30. A common approch is necessary
●
●
●
●
●
Geolocated data should be shared.
Possibility to move from hierarchical structures
to more interchange
OSM plays the role of a common platform
New Communication Networks and smarphones
tools offer more flexibiliy
Some experiences to Open
the possibility for Field
teams to share data
with OpenData license
31. OSM Common Platform
●
●
Humanitarian community data acquisition
workflows to be revised to share data with
others
OSM do play this role of providing a Free, Open
platform, a diversity of tools to manage and
exploit data, learning material and support to
humanitarian organisations.

Editor's Notes
I've been dying to talk about OpenStreetMap at the ODI, because it's an exciting Open Data topic. But first lets talk about typhoons. This is Typhoon Haiyan seen from the international space statione
Since Haiti in 2010, the Technical volunteers organisations have matured and are now part of the Digital Humanitarian network
OSM showed again with the Typhoon Haiyan, his capacity to react to such major disasters
Haiti 2010, 640 volunteers, 1.2 million edits
Haiyan 2013, 1,600 volunteers. 4.7 million edits
Nov 8, typhoon Haiyan massive destructions in the Central island of Philippines
10 days later, Poster size printed maps delivered to IOM UN personal in Tacloban airport
- While field teams prepare to deploy, mapping is essentail for the logistic of the deployment
- Key factor to rapid response and to provide pre and post-disaster mapping
- International Charter (Assoc of Imagery providers), Euro ??? and HIU unit from US State Dept. collaborate to obtention of imagery
- Aerial imagery and Civil Drone imagery are options that can give a rapid and flexible response, provide more precise informations
- Where Bing Imagery is available, remote CrowdMapping is immediately started
Free Post-Disaster Imagery for Typhoon Haiyan was obtained, this with support by groups such as DigitalGlobe /HIU, and CNES and Astrium throught the International Charter Space and Major Disasters

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.
The Tasking Manager at http://tasks.hotosm.org is one of the tools that we developped since Haiti to better coordinate CrowdMapping.
This answers the question “Where do I map”. It also assures that we cover systematically various zones to map. Instructions are provided for every Job, and we can control the progression of the mapping.
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-typhoon-haiyan-2013
Shows Edits made (Changeset bounding-boxes on a map)
- More then 1,600 contributors contributed coordinating with the Task Manager. This way we could respond to a particular request or use a specific image newly available.
- From 82 countries
- 4.8 millions of objects modified (buildings, roads, etc.)
Also watch video showing edits in Tacloban city: https://vimeo.com/80922315
Basically, we have an aerial image in the background from which we identify industrial and residential areas, buildings, water points, roads, etc. We simply add points and trace lines to represent the various informations observed.
The simplest way to contribute is to go to Openstreetmap.org, click on the note Button on the map, add a point, and describe the feature and name (ie school, hospital, place of worship, commerce,bank, etc.) Experimented OSM contributors will interpret this information. If you connect with an OSM account, they will have the possibility to email you for more info
Ten day after Haiyan Typhoon in Philippines, nov.2013, OpenStreetMap Poster printed map were going up on the walls in the aid agency control rooms, and handed out to people driving aid delivery trucks.

FieldPaper on a tablet, in development, should offer interesting possibilities to integrate Field Survey with OSM database editing. Project to follow.

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

DHNetwork workflow to build
Develop infrastructure that can not only show data, but also contribute to create OpenData on a common platform to share
OSM basemap layer should always be offered
Provide Opendata geolocated infos to OSM
Integrate OSM Humanitarian style in these Tools
And here's the maps in use in the Philippines. Various aid agencies decided to print map posters from OpenStreetMap.
The Red Cross can be seen here on the right doing some big printouts. They also got involved in actually contributing to the map. The British Red cross had a team of volunteers in their office here in the London, adding data following the same community processes as the rest of us.
In general we've seen more buy-in from aid agencies, and more up-front participation. Whereas in Haiti in 2010 they seemed to discover OpenStreetMap by surprise, with this response we see them going straight to OpenStreetMap, and pro-actively taking part in a process of improving the maps.
