The Sahana Software Foundation has joined OASIS (the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Systems) – a not for profit consortium that drives the development and advancement of open data standards. In particular, OASIS is the home of the Emergency Data Exchange Language – or EDXL – suite of open data standards that includes the Common Alerting Protocol (or CAP), EDXL-HAVE (Hospital Availability Exchange) and EDXL-SITREP, which have all been part of current or past Sahana development or research efforts.
“Becoming an OASIS member will help the Sahana Software Foundation fulfill its mission of being a leader in the field of promoting the adoption of open standards for disaster response and management,” said SSF CEO Mark Prutsalis. “This is a great opportunity for Sahana to have a positive impact on the development of systems for saving lives.” Wiki.

Deutsches Komitee Katastrophenvorsorge. Vesuvius. Vesuvius Overview Vesuvius is focused on the disaster preparedness and response needs of the medical community, contributing to family reunification and assisting with hospital triage.
Vesuvius Deployments The US National Library of Medicine (NLM) is using Vesuvius to support disaster preparedness and response in family reunification and hospital triage, enabling capture of photos, exchange of data across facilities for use in US-hospital-focused catastrophic situations. While their primary mission has been to support the Bethesda Hospitals Emergency Preparedness Partnership (BHEPP), NLM has also supported the public use of the Vesuvius People Locator system for the Haiti earthquake (2010), Christchurch Earthquake (2011), and Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (2011). A prerelease version of Vesuvius was also used by NLM as part of BHEPP’s October 15, 2009 participation in CMAX 2009 (Combined Multi-Agency eXercise).

The mapkibera project (mapkibera.org) is training local people of Kibera, Nairobi to create and own their map with OpenStreetMap OpenStreetMap being used by search & rescue teams after the Haiti earthquake.
The community responded rapidly creating the best map resources available. Our maps continue to be used for redevelopment planning, and HOT people are currently on-the-ground in Haiti giving training in use and improvement of the data From the beginning of OpenStreetMap the benefit of open data for humanitarian aid and economic development was anticipated. The idea proved its worth during the Haiti earthquake in 2010. HOT Mission and Objectives Mission Statement The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) applies the principles of open source and open data sharing towards humanitarian response and economic development.

European Commission: CORDIS: FP7. The ESA App Developer Camp. In brief. Copernicus is a European system for monitoring the Earth.
Copernicus consists of a complex set of systems which collect data from multiple sources: earth observation satellites and in situ sensors such as ground stations, airborne and sea-borne sensors. It processes these data and provides users with reliable and up-to-date information through a set of services related to environmental and security issues... The services address six thematic areas: land, marine, atmosphere, climate change, emergency management and security. They support a wide range of applications, including environment protection, management of urban areas, regional and local planning, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, health, transport, climate change, sustainable development, civil protection and tourism. The Copernicus programme is coordinated and managed by the European Commission.
