The path till now…
History

Static Maps to GIS
From the last quarter ofthe 20th century, theindispensable tool of thecartographer has been thecomputer.
Much of cartography,especially at the data-gathering survey level,has been subsumed byGeographic InformationSystems (GIS)

Post GIS days…Neogeography
The three core drivers of this change are the increasingly available and accessible of:
Open-source, dynamic mapping tools;
Mobile data collection technologies;
The development of new methodologies.
![Page 6: Crisis Mapping · 2015. 9. 15. · The Clouds The Crowds Way Forward There is a silver lining to every „crowd ... A crisis mapping tool and/or an early warning system Global citizen](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071100/5fd96947c1ae5b59ff744b84/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
“Neogeography,” is essentially about “people using and creating their own maps.”
The revolution in applications for user-generated content and mobile technology provides the basis for crowdsourcing.
Don‟t require expensive software or training
Are created by the users
Allow for more data sharing than proprietary data
Allow for more real time data

Roll out of Google Earth
In 2005, Google rolled outGoogle Earth.
Free, user-friendlyplatform drasticallyreduced the cost ofdynamic and interactivemapping—cost in terms ofboth availability andaccessibility.

Automated Crisis Mapping (ACM), real-time and automatedinformation collection mechanisms that allow for theautomated and dynamic mapping of disaster and health-related events.

Crisis Mapping
Crisis Mapping is composed of three key components
- Information collection
- Visualization
- Analysis

What is Ushahidi?
Originated from electoral violence in Kenya in 2008
Kept Kenyans current on crisis and provided assistance to relief
workers
Swahili for “witness” or “testimony”
A crisis mapping tool and/or an early warning system
Global citizen journalism: allows people around the world to tell
their story during a disaster or emergency situation
Free, easy to use, deployable worldwide
CROWDSOURCING, MAPPING, AND CROWDFEEDING TOOL

Haiti: earthquake
More than 230,000 people died, mass destruction and 1.5 million left homeless
The response system unable to prioritize data from outside sources
Ushahidi provided a way to capture, organize, and share critical information coming directly from Haitians through social med

Haiti: data analysis
Ushahidi was deployed in the first two hours
Within four days of the earthquake, 100,000 reports had been received
Approximately 85% of Haitian households had access to mobile phones
Although 70% of the cell phone towers in Port-au-Prince had been destroyed
in the disaster, they were back online before Ushahidi became operational
Volunteers translated 25,186 SMS messages and numerous e-mail, Web, and
social media communications, resulting in 3,596 reports that were actionable
