Press release from the OpenStreetMap Foundation • 24th January 2010 Haiti OpenStreetMap Press Release This is just a first draft for a page that informs members of the press as well as other media about the ongoing efforts in mapping haiti.
Feel free to amend. About the project OpenStreetMap is a project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive or unexpected ways.
Further information can be found at wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Press and the pages linked there. About crisis mapping Within the OpenStreetMap project a Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, called HOT, has formed. About the effort in Haiti After the earthquake near Port-au-Prince January 12th the OSM community started very soon to improve the maps for Haiti. Updates Talk "Crisis-Cartography" Lat/Long with OSM.

Handover in Haiti. [Guest blog post: Jonathan Shuler is the multimedia journalist behind several Ushahidi videos. He has collaborated on the "Haiti trilogy" that includes Haiti 4636 and Ushahidi Haiti.] When was the last time you thought about the 2005 Tsunami in South East Asia? Thousands of people died, the GDP of many coastal economies in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives will not recover for another 10 years, but when did you last think about it? Don’t feel bad if you haven’t thought about it in a few years, I saw the devastation with my own eyes and I hardly think about it. We are not meant to. Our minds are just not built that way. We can’t keep everything in the front of our brain, it’s just not possible. In my opinion, this is the biggest obstacle to disaster recovery: endurance to see completion. Passing the work on to the Haitian People from Ushahidi on Vimeo. 4636 SMS Shortcode for Reporting in Haiti – The Ushahidi Blo. Yesterday, with the help of dozens of people from multiple organizations, we launched an SMS short code in Haiti!
If you are in Haiti, report emergency info and location by texting 4636. Subscribers on the DigiCel network in Haiti can now report incidents by sending text messages free of charge to 4636. The shortcode makes it even faster and easier for eyewitnesses to report developments on the ground. A key goal is to make the SMS project easy to use for those on the grounds with needs and organizations on the ground trying to help. The radical problem is mixing two completely different scenarios here: Finding peopleRelieving needs The heavy lifting of parsing and then separating these messages into the two main buckets (“needs” and “missing persons”) is the tech communities (our) role. We understand that the incoming SMS messages will be in a completely open form, even though we ask for messages to have certain types of data in it (issue and location). How it works Background Get Involved.

More about the crisis and how to help:state.gov/haitiquakeAbout the Author: Katie Dowd serves as New Media Director at the U.S. Department of State.Update: Comcel Voila customers can now access the 4636 (INFO) short code in Haiti to report their needs and locations. A group of engineers from the tech community launched a free SMS relief information service to help people in Haiti. The text message program allows people with Digicel service to text their location and their need to a free short code: "4636" (INFO). For example, someone could text "I need water" or "I need medical help" with their location and these messages will be routed to aid organizations and emergency responders on the ground for free. If you know someone in Haiti, please share the "4636" program with them so they can text their needs and sign up for further information on relief efforts.

Google.org. Google.org. Google.org is the charitable arm of Google, an Internet search engine company that was founded in October 2005.[1] As of May 2010, the organization has committed over US$100 million in investments and grants. To fund the organization, Google granted three million shares during their initial public offering (IPO). As of March 2012, Google.org's three million shares are valued at approximately US$1.84 billion.
In 2013, the corporation stated on its website that it donates "$100,000,000 in grants, 60,000 hours, $1 billion in products".[2] Overview[edit] Among its first projects is to develop a mass-produced plug-in hybrid electric vehicle that can attain 100 mpg (miles per gallon) (see vehicle-to-grid).[3] In November 2007, Google.org announced RE<C (Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal), a project that will invest several hundred million dollars in order to produce renewable energy at a profit from wind and solar sources, particularly solar thermal energy.

ArcGIS Online - Group Content. ESRI Haiti Disaster Relief+Support. Public Safety : Accessing OpenStreetMap data within ArcGIS to su. In continuing support of our users who are helping with the response to the Earthquake in Haiti, here are some ways to consume data from OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap consists of widely available basemap data to support the response in Haiti. In this blog post, I’ll lay out the options for consuming OpenStreetMap data within ArcGIS. We’ve posted some of the layers to the Haiti Earthquake group on ArcGIS Online where we are organizing the relevant data. There are two basic ways to consume this data – connecting via web service or downloading the data directly. OGC Web Mapping Service (WMS) One of the ways to connect is via Open Standards like WMS.
Download an Export of OpenStreetMap Data Another option to access OpenStreetMap data within ArcGIS is to get an extract of the OpenStreetMap XML data either directly or via – which has updated extracts for Haiti in both OSM and ShapeFile Format. Here are a couple links to other related resources: Tim Craig (geoTC) Esritv_channel SocialMedia and GeoServi. Crisis Mappers: Social Media and Geo-Servi... ArcGIS Explorer. ESRI Geo-tagged Tweets. It seems the ever evolving Geo Viewer from ESRI (recall the Flex viewer that ESRI has been building on all week) now incorporates the ability to search and display Geo Tagged Tweets. Using the app, select the Tools icon (cube), then select the Twitter Option. This reveals a Twitter results box in the lower right region.
Then select the "Draw Search Area" option (purple circle) and click on an area on the map dragging the mouse to create a radial search region. Resulting tweets that are geo tagged within the area will be displayed. One has to wonder that if communications permitted, individuals that require assistance could be sending geo located Twitter Tweets quickly and easily via their mobile, enabling relatively accurate location of those needing help. An interesting tool for sure! Select Twitter option from Tools Menu The Twitter results window Drawing a search area in the viewer The results.
