New GIS field guide. UK, 10 June - MapAction has published the first edition of its Field Guide to Humanitarian Mapping. The guide, which is downloadable free, will help aid organisations to use geospatial tools and methods in their work in emergencies.

There are tutorials for Google Earth and open-source GIS software. Click here to access the guide. The guide was written to meet the need for practical, step-by-step advice for aid workers who wish to use free and open-source resources to produce maps both at field and headquarters levels. The principal author of the guide, MapAction team member Naomi Morris, commented: "We will be trialing the first edition during a three-month mission to Papua New Guinea in which we will show local organisations how to use these methods for disaster risk reduction mapping. The guide is available free as a PDF download (118 A5-sized pages) from our Resources page or by clicking here. Production of the guide was funded by the Dulverton Trust.
